I needed an adventure. A slow kind of adventure. Lasting a half day at most. So I talked Anand and Henk into joining me. Anand drives the auto rickshaw, and Henk is an excellent photographer from Belgium who’s spent many years exploring the roads and villages outside of Madurai. He speaks a lot more Tamil than I do, and together he and Anand make quite a pair. The goal was to see a particular ... Read Full Entry

I thrive on travel. I love to put myself in situations that knock me in the head, shake me up, force me to bless the moment of misunderstanding or of revelation. These times come easily when I travel. I've wandered India, Central America, and Southeast Asia, and I am thankful to the hundreds of people along the way who have eased my passage, delighted my senses, touched my heart. I love to share these journeys, because these special moments are not just for me, but for my friends, family, and vicarious travelers alike. I shall do my best to embrace and convey the experiences that on some le... full info

I enjoyed your adventure very much, except as always, would like pictures of you and your companions. The smiling woman is so beautiful. Stay happy and safe, and enjoy whatever holidays you might find there.

Adventure
Thanks Alan. I forgot completely about getting a photo of myself on this adventure. I should have tried weaving a roof shingle and gotten a shot of that!

I love this photo!
Your opening line... "I needed an adventure"... is fabulous! Hope the kid with the tie wasn't too traumatised! :)

My tie? You like my tie?
I have understood that giving a compliment about an item a person possesses can make that person feel obligated to offer it as a gift. Wonder if that young student thought he needed to give his tie to the photographer! How to explain that one to Amma and Appa after school! Great outing.

You never know what will happen, and it generally comes out better than expected if you know the ropes.

Tie gift
I’m sure that’s what he was thinking! I wonder if he suffers from nightmares about the foreigners grabbing his tie and making off with it.
