We took a little tour of the Kerala backwaters on Saturday. We were on a little houseboat and just putzed around for a few hours. It was very nice and very relaxing. I kept having to remind myself that, not only was I still in India, I was only a couple of kilometers from the omnipresent buzz of human life that pervades this place. The backwaters were laid back, uncrowded, QUIET and tranquil. Lots of beautiful vegetation, churches, temples, mosques, and villages. One of the main forms of income is fishing in this area. Many of the little houses on the shore have large Chinese fishing nets they use to catch fish. Overall, quite a nice way to spend an afternoon.
