We just left India. We had a fun time for most of the time. When we got there, there were drummers and they played while we got off the shipand they had some type of paint that they would put on the center of your forehead as you got off the ship. Julian danced and didn't let them put the paint on his head. Papa says India is a very big country
and has a lot
of people
that
live there – over 1 zillion of them. We
started in a
city called Kochin in the
state of
Kerala.
It reminded me of Miami with all the palm trees, banana trees,warm weather, humidity, very short rainshowers that come in the afternoon to cool thingsoff, and long beaches with grainy sand.. The people
in India call Kerala “God’s
own country” because it is beautiful. We drove down the coast to a beach about
six hours away. Kovalam Beach. Papa wanted to get away and relax
for
a few
days and we were able
to
do that. Well, except the first day when we all got sick. Papa called it Dehli Belly. I called it throwing up on mama and Julian. Everyone was sick for about a day. Then when we got better, we went to the beach and pool and had fun. We
saw
eagles and hawks
flying
and
lots of fish in the water.
I spent most of the time on the beach with my bucket,
shovel, and toy
truck. I looked
for
treasure but all I found was sand. I also liked being in the pool playing with new
friends I met at the hotel. I went walking into town
with his Papa.
On the walk, we saw elephants at
a festival, and saw vendors cooking all kinds of
food. It was
definitely a
fun
and relaxing time in
India,
but we were excited to get back on the
ship. Julian was excited to not throw up anymore. Now we are heading to Mauritius. I will write more soon.
