Alicia's parents came to visit for a month in January. It was such a blessing to have them here and be able to share with them our life here in Kerala. Although the month seemed to go way too fast, we were able to do quite a few short trips around the area. The best part, though, was just having them here throughout every day. Enjoy the pictures:
We drove about 1.5 hours out of the city to the 2nd tallest mountain in the state, Ponmudi, in the Western Ghats.
It was an exciting ride and an absolutely beautiful view. This is our family plus our friend and driver, Hareesh.
My little mountain climber
My even littler mountain climber. Sadly, the drive home was a little too excitiing for her.
She was car sick the whole way, vomiting all over the car, Jay, and Mom!
We also went to Neyyar Dam and saw monkeys in the woods along the way. It was sooo neat.
They came to about 8 feet from us.

Auto rides - not as relaxing as the smiles might suggest.
