Just a short note to let y'all know we have arrived safely in Cochin. As with many places in India, you will find a variety of names and spellings for the same place. Our adventure began even before we left Toronto. When we arrived at our Park and Fly hotel we discovered that they are temporarily accommodating 400 Syrian refugees. The lobby full of children had re-purposed the furniture into playground equipment. They were clearly having a hoot as they pushed the couch, turned imaginary truck, through the front foyer.
Our journey here included stops in New York and Qatar, 18 hours in the air, and over 24 hours of travel. I thought I managed a bit of sleep on the plane, but my Fitbit begs to differ (it reads only 2 h 45 min). Getting sprayed with pesticide before you leave the plane is always a shocker--we tried not to breathe in! Today is all about settling in and getting ready for some serious touring tomorrow. We enjoyed a lovely walk along the Bay. In spite of the unique advertisements there are no rats in sight😄 Dad is already enjoying curry puffs from the Cochin Bakery. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
