Mangalore

Wow - hot and huuuuumid here. Last night we ate with Mamta and Kish and experienced a few new Indian dishes - I am getting much more experimental with spices - not quite the wimp I was 2 weeks ago!

Mom you were wondering where we are - we are in Mangalore (in red) then fly back up to Bangalore on our way back out and up the coast to Panaji (Panjim or Goa) we are staying in Colva Beach in Goa for 5 days of relaxing and swiming and touring around before heading to Delhi - hopefully Delhi if the fog will lift - they have had problems for the last 4 days getting people in and out so hopefully we will get there to see the Taj but if not - I am sure it will be some kind of adventure! Hello Mr. Ratburn and Hannah - good to hear all goes well in Florida - I am taking good care of your Mama Hannah - making her sleep and take her medicine - I think she is totally healthy now! No more rest for Karen!

Was good to hear everyone in Ottawa is good and Christmas was celebrated by 31 of you at Moe and Dave's, alas no snow for Coco!

Summer Sands is beautiful - but we continue to draw crowds of children wanting to talk to us, touch us and practice their english. Hugs from Mangalore - KB
