Okey dokey. Here we go...HTML be damned! We start with the Thread Garden's haughty claim. Then we move to the decrepit mongoose from the Tribal Museum.
Next we have Fran next to one his fave things about India - the trash bins shaped like animals. Stay tuned for an entire Facebook photo album (on his profile) dedicated to them. Then we move to the Todda village and Todda temple shots.
The cemetery at the 100 years old (actually 200 years old) church made for an interesting tromp around. On we move to the tea plantation & tea factory. That machine is the C-T-C machine. It cuts, turns, and curls the tea leaves.
Ah, yes, the Savoy Hotel and my $7 whiskey sour sans egg white (?)
Fran did some roaming in Coimbatore whilst I suffered through the only English language nonsense on TV. The chalk drawings are done outside of homes to bring prosperity.
The final shots are from Fort Cochin. The Chinese fishing nets are used each morning from 8:30-10:30. Seemed like a lot of labor (it takes 4-6 men to maneuver them) for not so many fish. We close this post with a wistful Fran at Cafe Coffee Day - India's answer to Starbucks.

WOW. I can't wait until I'm a grown up and can do some serious traveling!
Putting an egg white in the whiskey sour is very old school cocktail time. Back when the ladies popped valium all day and everybody smoked!
