13-18 September 2010 - Aatreyee and BC came to visit

BC and Aatreyee visited us from Karaikal where BC teaches pathology at  Vinayaka Mission Medical College.

Aatreyee, Krishna, Carolyn

Aatreyee and BC cooking, which they did a lot.  (Heaven!  Good cooks.)

Gopal took them to a tourist spot with a view, Dolphin's Nose.  Please note the tea plantations everywhere.

This picture shows the lack of view, so everyone focused on taking pictures of the monkeys.

The view.  (Socked in by fog/clouds.)

This is Sims Park near the house

Not sure where BC found this guy, but I just loved how well designed he is.

We visited the NGO, Leap the Divide, where Sara works.  ://www.leapthedivide.org/

The Leap the Divide building.  The walk there from our house was really beautiful and charming (and short).

BC feeding a very hungry street puppy.  Street dogs have a difficult life.  Many puppies like this one don't survive.

We also visited this herbal medicine store where Krishna and I bought some natural incredients for our soap and shampoo (soap nuts, shikakai, and amla) which I am still using.

We had a wonderful time with Aatreyee and BC and were sorry to see them go.
