So ladies, I apologize for not blogging since my last post. The internet connection has been unbearable and my adventure spirit started to rapidly wear off somewhere between weeks two and three lol. I think it was after Paul took us to the Travancore Heritage Resort which was a wonderful and exotic break from the bugs, filth, and heat. We were greeted with sandalwood oil on our foreheads and fresh coconut juice straight from the coconut. The staff at the resort treated us like royalty and it felt amazing after some of our previous adventures! : )
Our friends Annie and Abby Abraham joined us there for a day which was wonderful. Sophia was reunited with one of her new best friends Mercy Abraham who she had met and befriended at the conference. : )
Of course we had a lovely time and we experienced three days of paradise. Like I said earlier, my adventure spirit started to disappear after the resort and I found myself very tempted to complain. Some notable experiences included the time I went for an Ayurvedic massage and a bird pooped on my head on the way out. Also the real appetite killer came when I popped the toast down at Paul's Mom and Dad's house and a gecko jumped out onto my hand. By that point on our trip, my appetite had already disappeared but the gecko really tipped me over the scale to complete nausia. On a more positive note, I have managed to lose a few pounds lol. There is so much to write about my trip to India but it is truly difficult to express in words. There is such a raw beauty about the land that draws you in but the filth pushes you away. It's like seeing something so beautiful that it's ugly or so ugly that it's beautiful. I love India in some ways but I love the US in so many more ways. I will be really happy to get home! : )
