Learning about Monsoon

My lovely partner, Leigh and her brand new "kuda"
Leigh and I passed an umbrella shop (“kuda” in Malayalum) on our first foray out in Ernakulum. We went in, looked around and chose umbrellas and THEN made a crucial mistake—we decided to buy them on our way back to the hotel so we wouldn’t have to carry them. Genius! We got our farthest from the hotel and then the rains started. We waited in a store for 10-15minutes thinking it might let up. Nope. By the time we arrived back at the umbrella shop we were sopping wet and the store owners took one look at us and burst out laughing
