Sorry about the picture here. I don't know how to flip it (I'm a mac guy, not a PC guy.) Anyway, in Kerala you can take these tours of the backwaters. The word backwater certainly doesn't conjure up pretty images, but it was actually really lovely. Canals link everything together through palm trees, homes, small towns and river life. We rented a houseboat for 22 hours and left at 11am, arriving at our destination at 9am the next morning. We rode on the boat all day watching the scenery and the people. Everybody waves. Either they were really fascinated by these two jews from New York, or they wave to everyone. It's anyone's guess. We slept on the boat and they cooked us our meals. Currys, rice, fruit. It was all delicious, and not one mosquito bite (of course, i'm getting bitten alive as i write this now.)

Now that's what I call India...we laughed a lot over the tandoori incident at the Oscar party. All we can think of is you transposed into 7 hours of PHANTOM INDIA. As I trudge through the dirty snow to Union Square this morning, I will imagine you sipping a Lassi on the beach...you bastard.
