Kerala coast

We stayed at the Travancore Heritage hotel, just south of Thiruvananthapuram in central Kerala. The hotel was right on the Arabian Sea, and I found the beach to be a fascinating place. See blog at https://davidkotz.org/2008/12/12/kerala-part-1-the-coast/.

While the fishing boats are out, their reed-mat covers provide shade on the beach.
