Leigh on the balcony of our hotel room
The Santa Clause Resort, huh.
Boys on Sunday with nothing to do. "Boys on a wire"
Our first beer in two weeks! And nursing a Scrabble addiction.Varkala
We have escaped Rajakkad. The electricity was going in and out over a dozen times a day and sometime was out for 48 hours at a time (this also means we had no water since the pump is electrically powered). Part of our usefulness as outside consultants is our computing power and skills, so electricity is crucial to our work.
We spent a full day traveling by bus and train and have arrived on the coast much farther south at Varkala. It is a tourist town and I will admit a relief not to be stared at and constantly stopped. Being at the edge of the Indian Ocean is truly thrilling, I can imagine myself on a map of India. The weather has been gorgeous, I’ve been getting a tan and we have found an ideal hotel room with a balcony over-looking the waves for $4.50 a night. Now, lest you think we are living it up too much, we HAVE been working 8 hours a day since we got here. Ahh, but the electricity is consistent, the ocean is mesmerizing, the people are used to foreigners and the lack of meetings is a breath of fresh air!

I shall hereby use that picture of you and the beach and the beer as my reassurance that it is indeed '5 o'clock somewhere!!!'
Good times, good times. :)
