(Lesley) We made it to the end of India. We are where the three waters meet. The Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and thee Arabian Sea. We went into the water last night at sunset along with lots (thousands) of other folks. That is the thing to do here. That, and see the sunsets and sunrises. We ate mango and bananas and ice cream on the waterfront.
We went to a temple today. We had been abit unsure because non-hindus aren't allowed in all the temples and we are unfamiliar with the rules, but we met two men from Montreal and Spain who are travelling together. They are very interested in temples so we went along with them and they showed us how temples are done. Sam even had to take his shirt off before entering the inner santum/ santuary area.
We also took a ferry out to see the Vivekananda Rock memorial. That's where the wandering monk spent a few days on a rock meditating.
Gosh we also went to the Gandi memorial too. We have had a busy day and we didn't get up before 10 am. Most people here are up at sunrise because it is a special place to see sunrises and sunsets. Turns out because of the humid weather there was no sun to see anyways, it was too cloudy.
We found a great place for food. Sam loves the thalis and it is always slightly different so it is hard to get bored of it.
We are still enjoying things and the people are very friendly. Sam was like a movie star today. Everyone wanted their photo with him. I hope it doesn't go to his head.

Actually, that was the one thing I asked Santa for this year - a picture with Sam. I want it to sit next to the picture of Dave Madden in the front hall, so people can see that Sam's my friend. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteThe blogs are lovely, and a wonderful way for the rest of us to follow your adventures. Keep writing!
Well if he doesn't make it as an investment banker a movie star will do. We shall have to send him for some Bollywood auditions.
ReplyDeleteKanyukamari sounds great, particularly the sunsets and rises and the temples. Did Ghandi come from that area? John is teaching me how to comment. I have it all written down, step by step!
