Nod to the Left
Wednesday, 14 April 2010
I’m getting used to the head nod. It’s not up and down, it’s a slight left to right waggle, so “no” kind of means “yes”. And “yes” means “yes” too. They just don’t like saying “no”. Reuben and I took a fun rick-shaw ride to Marayoor. We tried to get on the Internet, sure enough there was no electricity. We managed to find a cold soda, which was welcoming with the heat. Mangoes are just coming into season. We replenished our fruit supply and headed back up to the cooler mountains.
After lunch we went on a hike up the Sholla Road. It’s a beautiful gravel road though the wilderness. We didn’t see another person, only gigantic squirrels (about 2 feet long). We tried to get up to the ridge but it was getting late.
Today we took a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the town of Munnar just so I could get on the internet. So I hope you are enjoying this blog!! Ah, we also ate a delicious vegetable curry lunch (thali plate) and delivered some veggies to friends of the family. We are in tea land. Rolling, flowering, fantastically beautiful tea land. I love the rolling hills. Maybe we’ll take a taxi back home. I’ll try to blog again soon. Namaste!
