We Are Back in the Travel Saddle Baby
-On the first day upon arrival in India I awoke to have a cold shower. The room was dense with humidity that the ceiling fan was trying desperately to cut through. As I turned on the tiny drizzle from the shower the ants on the walls scurried to safety.
Our Bathroom
We even were given a bar of soap and two towels to our surprise, but we had to use our own toilet paper. A scoop and a bucket were supplied to rinse we assume.
At least I hope it was because I couldn’t make the shower work. So I filled the bucket with water from the tap and used that scoop to pour the cold deluge over my head and body. The water ran to a drain beside the toilet and the entire bathroom was soaked…I hadn’t been this happy in months!
What is it about travel that makes us feel so alive?
We aren’t doing much different than we have for the past 2 weeks in Canada.
Dave and I are together every day, just like before. We are working on writing and photography just like before and we know that we don’t have to go to back work…Just like before.
But landing in Trivandrum and making our way to Kerala has made us instantly happier.
Coffee Time
I wrote this post in my journal at Coffee Temple while sipping on some Java listening to mellow music, just like I did at Williams Coffee Pub in Woodstock. Dave is sitting beside me doing his work as usual and I am just so content.
Hearing the waves crash on the shore, sitting in the warm air and feeling the energy of a new place makes writing so exciting.
Even sitting outside last night Blogging on the Internet, just felt right.
When I cam out of the shower shivering from the cold, Dave laughed and said “You are just beaming,” to which I replied “We’re Back!”
