Sunday, May 30, 2010

Have you ever read the word 'perambulating' in a newspaper in the States?????????????? They really use some big words in The Hindu sometimes.

Got out the whiffle ball and bat again today. I think the ladies are enjoying it! Took pictures.

Simbeon came by today. One of David's two massage therapists. He was quite delighted by my use of Malayalum. There is supposed to be a man coming on Wednesday so maybe Simbeon will be around now.

I explored some more today. There are little villages all over the place. There is also a humongous farm attached to this place where all the herbs and roots for medicines are grown. Also banana trees and coconut trees. It's huge and surrounded by a cement wall. The size is quite impressive. Kathy keeps pointing out plants used for medicine. Does seem like everything planted here is for that purpose.

Apparently India achieved independence from Britain with pure and simple pacifism via Mahatma Ghandi. There were those who wanted to use violence, but 99% of the people didn't want to use violence. Those who did went to talk with Hitler and with whomever it was in Japan and actually fought with them against the British in Burma. Hence, the award as a Freedom Fighter posthumously, I think, to the royal father.

Sundays are slow days when you are encouraged to email me. Obviously, out of sight out of mind.
