We spent Christmas morning with friends on a rice boat in the backwaters of this beautiful south Indian state. It felt like paradise on earth.
But, like almost everywhere, Kerala is facing environmental challenges and conflicts between natural resources and local livelihoods. I will write more soon on what we learnt, and would like to take this moment to send slightly belated but very warm and sunny Christmas greetings to everyone who stops by this blog.
Jill, I can’t wait to hear more about your adventures in India. Happy New Year, Carolyn
It looks like a lovely way to spend a Christmas morning. Hope your holidays were happy!
A rice boat? Await your next post with interest. Happy new Year!
What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Day…..hope you are all well.
Best wishes from a balmy Northumberland, (no snow this time…and incredibly mild)
