we're just wrapping up our last few hours here in fort cochin - ready to hop another mode of transport to mumbai.
we've been up to so much since the last time we updated - which was on the first day - seems like months ago now!
we spent 3 days at the yoga ashram, observing a schedule of meditation and yoga and silent meals. it was great to have a routine, mix with other travelers, and do yoga twice a day.
after that we proceeded to paradise: the backwaters of kerala, where we stayed in a fancy home with an indian family whose daughters were as charming as they were fun and beautiful. the backwaters [think venice in india] were super mellow - just what the doctor ordered.
we have had some back pain among the group, and multiple ailments seem to dance around julia - throat pain, sinus pain, back pain - but i think she's feeling better today, and she's been a trouper throughout - the whole group is just down for anything, which is nearly a mandatory quality in these parts ;)
after that backwaters we proceeded to fort kochin, which has a strong christian influence and a european feel. we even treated ourselves to coffee and toast yesterday for bfast! we ambled into a little town off the beaten path yesterday, and made friends with the locals, who followed us to the train station and asked us to sign their journals.
today, it's off t mumbai we go!
more details coming sooner, or later!
namaste!
