Temple Discrimination and Elephants

Well once again my vacation hasn't gone as planned.  After two days on the train, which went surprising smoothly with mostly just a lot of reading as well as meeting a very nice man who bought me Chai while we talked. I'm in Thrissur right now, a town in the region of Kerala. Kerala is beautiful and green if not humid and scorching hot. Anyway,  while as a white person I am not allowed into the temple I most wanted to go. The Catholic Church has no racially discriminating rules and gladly let me come in and view the beautiful cathedral dedicated to Mary (I think). Of course as always no photos allowed inside so this shot will have to do. I did manage to see am elephant walking across the street. It was AWESOME. But by the time I got around to playing and running after it  had disappeared. Anyway, after walking around and trying to find something worth while to do I finally gave up. Now I'm just eating grapes on my bed, watching a movie and waiting for my midnight train. Next stop, the beach!  I figured,

how can I go wrong with the beach... Crossing my fingers.
