Dear B. Cull, sorry to let you down...

I know my blog posts have been sporadic (nonexistent, really) but the further south we go, the less internet exists. We are at a dive internet cafe right now, checking out the 166MHz computers from 1990. Alas, I digress-- I am grateful for the internet access!

Since Elephanta Island, Sarah and I went to a Jain temple in Mumbai and went out with a guy we met there. I know, who picks up at a temple, really??? Anyway, GREAT times and 3 am nights, and we headed to the airport. Sarah is now safe in Nepal and I flew to Cochin to meet Kelly. We were super tired and lazy, so we didn't go see any sites, and instead lounged by the pool at the Hilton. In the super exec suite they gave me because they forgot to pick me up at the airport. Sweet.

From Kochin, our awesome driver Rajesh picked us up and took us to Thekkady, where we had lots of insane times-- took in a Kathakali performance, had very naked areyvedic massages and went on a safari where we saw a frog. And got bitten by leechs.

From Thekkady, went to Kumarakom and boarded our luxury houseboat, which was gorgeous. About 10 mins on the water Kelly asked if they had any beer... they hadn't stocked any, but they stopped the giant boat at the next jetty and two of the minions went to town and brought back 8 bottles of Kingfisher. We gave the 4 staff 4 of them, and kept 4 for us.

We are now in Kovalam on the beach. It is gorgeous here and we are just getting ready to hit up the water. We head back on Sunday night and arrive home on Monday morning.

Anyway, just wanted to throw a quick update to let you know we are alive and well in India. See you soon!!
