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!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it insid...
