Sorry, but with internet problems, my First Day entry didn't get posted until after my lays one.
We are now in Fort Cochin, a part of the larger municipality of Kochi. This place is characterized as a tranquil, peaceful place, but that apparently means dedicated solely to tourists. Everyone is looking to make a rupee from people like us, I guess. Not really our scene, but we managed to buy Joy a cane to ease the burden on her ankle (for you, Karen). She seems to be doing better every day. Because of the tourist emphasis here, we have been able to help Joy avoid some of the food she craves and her stomach has settled.
Tomorrow, off for another train ride to Alleppy, the "Venice of the East" and maybe a boat ride.
