The walks were accompanied by a terrific symphony of bird songs. Because of that, we choose to walk in the mornings around 6:30 - 730 and again near sundown. We wish we had our pal John Spencer here to help us spot and identify the various birds. We met John last year in Guatemala. He runs ablog at www.bajabirder.com John lives in southern Baja Mexico. Check out his camerawork.

... is spectacular and mostly undeveloped, in those parts we could have been anywhere in the world (with mountains, lake, deep forests and the occasional tea plantation).

Then back to town for spice shopping in a small shop jammed with locals. Bought vanilla, lots of assorted Indian spices, and a fruit cake to give to some unsuspecting soul back home for Christmas. I also visited a local state wine store and bought a bottle of Maharashtra ...

... a different sort of curry, dry, wet, saucy, mild, spicy and inside the tray goes a large portion of rice, and its often accompanied with some popadoms. With your pick-n-mix special of 8 different flavourer's and textures of curry its great value, but its also an all-you-can-eat affair, the waiters won't stop filling your plate. All for less than a pound. Brilliant. We had planned to go walking in the surrounding forests and hills ...

... which consisted of a series of colorful disco lights. Vehicles and decor here are so funny. I can't say my initial arrival into Kodaikanal instilled much passion for the place. Based on the drive up and the scenery, I thought I would love it here. Ushered out into the normal crowds of taxi drivers (they don't use rickshaws in Kodaikanal, I assume because of the weather...), I have multiple people bidding for my lot. In the end I wind up going to a hotel with the ...

... se some elephants and tigers. Dr. Saravanan is also a general practitioner downtown who used to work at the K.M.F. hospital. He was also present at the doctors meeting this sunday. Here he interduced us to a friend of his, who works at the Goverment hospital in Ooty. So he arranged that we come and visit the goverment hospital on friday. GH's should be very interesting since its free for the patients - this ...

... the Rockies. We drove 30km to a place called Top Station which is in Tamil Nadu, this is basically the high point and you can, if it is not cloudy, look down over the Western Ghats. It was impressive enough even with the cloud. We're heading off tomorrow to Peryiar Wildlife Sanctuary in the hope of seeing some Tigers, chances are we wont, but I think it is a certainly to see Elephants and some other animal that are not indigenous to the UK or Bristol zoo.

... denn nach der Geburt ist man doch dankbar für alles was man nicht selbst bedenken muss und einem von fachkundiger Hand abgenommen wird. So kann ich von Glück sagen, dass sich keine größeren Schwierigkeiten eingestellt haben und fast alles recht normal verlief. Nun hat unser Leben also einen neuen Schwerpunkt bekommen, was sehr schön ist. Lars ist natürlich weiterhin gut an der KIS beschäftigt, aber ich habe meine Arbeit bei KOPEDEG erst einmal zur ...

... Religiösität, indem sich Gott und Mensch begegnen. Es hat mich erinnert an die Schilderung von Israels Begegnung mit Gott am Sinai. Ganz wie im Buch Exodus gibt es auch hier bei diesem Tempeltanz einen Mittler. Nur ist es hier natürlich nicht Moses, sondern ein Brahmane, der zwischen Gott und die versammelten Menschen tritt und sich dabei in der Begegnung mit dem Heiligen in Lebensgefahr begibt. Um vor dem Gott bestehen zu können, um ihm ins Antlitz zu sehen, mit ihm im ...
