Woah. I can't believe it's over.

So we're back from a mindblowing week in Kerela, and I can not even begin to tell you of the awe and beauty that is inspired by the things we've seen. Wild elephants in the mists of the Western Ghats, spice plantations in the jungle in the monsoon, cruising on a houseboat through the night in the backwaters, theraputic aeurvedic massages, traditional dance and music and worship and joy. We feel cleansed and filled and grateful, and have had a chace to look back at the gift these last four months have been.
We will be doing posts in the coming weeks that bring the things we've seen to you, but for now, on our last evening in India, back in Chennai where it all started, we are packing and weighing our over-full bags, going for some fabulous Chettinad food, taking in some carnatic music and a Bharatanatyam performance by a beautiful girl with dark, dark eyes. We will be saying our quiet goodbyes - filled with very mixed emotions - to this amazing place.
On different planes flying different routes, Brand and I shall both be arriving back in T.O. Tuesday afternoon. We invoke sweet Ganesha one more time for a safe and comfortable journey.
See you soon.
