2/18 Heaven in the land of coconuts

Arrived around 6am in Ernakulum, Kerela..  Took a 10 minute ferry ride to Fort Cochin.  Very nice auto driver drove me around to various guest houses.  Finally settled on a lovely moderately priced room with a garden terrace, friendly staff and great breakfast.  Rested a bit in the morning.  Wandered in the afternoon.  Got to help pull up a massive Chinese fishing net - another moment where I just couldn't believe that I was here.  They are just so big and ancient.  I will upload the video soon. Joined a cooking class in the evening.  Great fun.  Just wish Stone could have been here with me;).  We made fish curry, pumpkin curry, Thoran, and chapatis - pics up soon;).

  1. I love the image of you helping pull up an ancient Chinese fishing net. Something about the image struck me as very much you, and it was an authentically beautiful moment. Here's to more to come.
