the humidity is enough to drown you but then the actual temperate does a great job at cooking you so,, it should be a perfect balance between ether world and inner world. that's the heat talking ..l am one sweaty broad, the my natural human barometer must be broken because i continue to stay in the heat, but at least i will go swimming tomorrow. I will swim here my last two days in varkala, the water is nice the waves are huge and there are a couple small quiet beach spots. this place is built by the tourist economy where as other places in India are for the Indians and a lot different. It is a nice holiday destination. the shops and people will be moving home, many people from Tibet,Nepal and Kashmir,India are here and gearing up for the close of the season and awaiting to go home. some end of season bargains are waiting for the right shopper.. be happy and stay cool. love m
