We headed to the southern tip of India today. It is where the Arabian Sea, the Bay Of Bengal and Indian ocean all meet. It is also where some of Mahatma Ghandi's ashes were kept before being spread.
We headed to the meditation monument and statue area ( I cannot even start to spell the man's name... may have to come back when it is in front of me) He is famous for his spirituality and meditation as well as yoga teachings. It was a treat to have Vydhia with us for the day. She was very cute and even when we were meditating she sat with us. Very sweet girl. We walked through the memorial of Ghandi and had lunch and followed by some delicious ice cream in a little fruit shop. It was a long trip there and back on the bus but it was very enjoyable. I am heading to Meena and Sivan's righ now for a good-bye breakfast, as I am on the bus today for Trivandrum in Kerala. From there I will catch a flight to Goa and head to the Ashyiana Ashram for a yoga retreat. My time with Nallasivan and his family has been unbeleivable. It is the true heart of India. I was taken aback by the number of white people in Kanyakumari...I had forgotten how to be a tourist. We got some strange looks: Nallasivan said that they were trying to figure out how the two of us had an Indian girl with no western features. Meena is 8 months pregnant and was unable to come with us. It is an exciting to see there family but also sad to have to say good-bye

Is the bus as dodgy as taking the train out there or not so much because officials wouldn't consider such a low brow form of transport? Andre and I still haven't heard anything about issues of mismanagement at the Toronto Airport at all - hopefully Kit just had a singular incident.
