Tuesday, May 19, 2009--5th day.
Since the internet was out yesterday, I will first write what I was going to write for May 18.
In case the internet goes out again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEAGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok. Here's the story of this place as I know it. A royal couple (I don't know if it is THE royal couple or not) own this house (palace). They are a professional couple who live in the US.
I'm guessing the last name is Zamorin as that is the name of this place. Colonel Babu was retiring from the Army about 8 years ago and wanted to set something like this up. Dr. Baji is the third party involved here. He is a medical doctor as well as a Ayurveda doctor. Apparently they have some kind of a partnership with the royal fam owning 50% and the Colonel and Dr. Baji owning the other 50%. The royal fam apparently has another house (palace) two doors up the street, which I haven't scoped out yet. That is where they stay when they come back to visit.
The manager here is named Francis, a Roman Catholic (something just over 1% of the population is Christian.), who retired from the Army in 2005 after putting in 30 years, during which time his family was only with him for 6 years. He has a daughter (23) who is a pharmacist, married, with a 1 year old daughter. Francis's wife babysits everyday for the little girl so he gets to see her often. He also has a 17 year old son. We had quite a conversation yesterday. He is going to be arranging going to the only local Catholic Church for Mass on Sunday. Francis told me that one child remains in the family home after marriage to care for the parents. Guess the daughter lucked out.
Okay. So that was for Monday, May 18, 2009. Stay tuned for Tuesday, May 19, 2009.

Hi, Peggy! I had no idea you were not going to be a tourist on this junket. This is cool! And you've dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
