Dare County, North Carolina that is.

These are the adventures of the Sutherland family. We have moved from the northeast coast of North Carolina (Dare County) to the southwest coast of India...from Nags Head to Thiruvananthapuram. If you can't say that, then Trivandrum works, too.

Day Trip to Neyyar Dam


On Friday, we took a break from city life and went to a dam and park at the foot of the Western Ghats mountains.  Afterwards, we visited the home of our friend / driver / language tutor / scam prevention consultant, Harrish.  It was nice to get almost alone in India. 

We went on a lion safari on one of the islands in the lake. 
"Get your bus off my road," growled this unhappy fella.

Look, no people!

Harrish and Evelyn

Harrish's family fed us a wonderful meal of Chicken Masala, tapioca, rice cakes (kind of like pancakes), and Kerala rice.
This is how people typically dress here.
