Feb 10, 2014:
Tomorrow morning we leave by car for Kumily and see if we can see some wild elephants and even a tiger. We will be somewhat sad to leave the relaxed life we have developed here, but there is a lot more of India to be seen.
Last night we shared a plate of the biggest prawns I have ever seen. Any Maritimer that knows the size of a "market" lobster will appreciate the size of the prawns (4) on this plate. Pop off the heads and shell and it is all meat! Tonight we went back for our last plate of the ginger/lemon/garlic baked prawns we loved so much the day before.
Joy now has a cane that we bought back in Fort Cochin and she appreciates having the use of it, particularly to get down the stairs to the beach. It is a thing of beauty, made of camel bone with various Indian designs painted on it. We have modified it twice since being here: adding a non-slip cover over the brass tip and reinforcing it when it became wobbly where it is supposed to come apart. Her ankle is slowly improving although it does hamper her getting around.
Tomorrow we go away from the Arabian Sea and head East into the Western Gnats, the land of tea and grape plantations and wildlife preserves.
