Kerala - Beach Time!

 We spent most of our time in the city of Kovlum.  It was a GREAT vacation spot!!! It was beautiful and relaxing!  It was a definite beach town!  We really loved it and plan on going back sometime!!

One of our favorite restaurants was "Area 51" :)  We ate there a couple of times ;)
 Adam & Keith :)
 I saw these guys walking down the street one day... it kinda cracked me up to see 3 guys in matching suits walking down the street in a very beachy area :) haha!  After leaving Area 51 it made me think of Men in Black :)
 We stayed at this AWESOME resort!!  It had 3 pools... We actually never swam in this one but it's the only one I got a pic of :) haha!  I have pics of us IN the other pool though (more pics to come).  This pool had a restaurant in it... you could eat in the pool! (you can see the chefs in the little hut connected to the pool)... The resort was really great! 
 This was the beach!  It was really interesting!!!  The orange sand was very different.  I've never seen an orange sand beach before :)  
 The beaches were divided into different coves.  It wasn't one long beach, but a cove.  It was cool!  Here's my rockin' friend Carie :)
 This is at Area 51 ... you can see the stuff on the wall :)  
 It was fun to hang out with our fun friends ;)
 Keith got this Kerala Fried Chicken
 One beach over from ours was a public beach - it was a totally different atmosphere! haha!   Look at all the people!!! :)
 On our last night at the hotel, the hotel put on a show with some Keralan dancers.
 It was fun to watch them do kathak dancing!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Jaya's Engagement!

My good friend Jaya (Mayank's sister that lives in M-town) - just got engaged!  On Sunday, I took the trip to M-town to go to her Engagement Ceremony (or Ring Ceremony).  It was a lot of fun :)!   First Stop - Beauty Parlor!  We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house.  The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house.  Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup.  This beauty parlor was interesting because it only had 2 light bulbs in the whole room (and they were the energy saver kind that were dimmer than the regular ones), so it wasn't that bright inside the room.   Here's a pic of Jaya in the chair getting her makeup done.   Notice that her hair is crimped.  They use the crimper on people's hair when it's a special occasion - awesome!!! They put a  bindi  on her head and then the lady painted more and made it super fancy. Here's the finished product (after 1.5 hours)!  She...
