I expected to see a lot of cows roaming about, but so far, it has been all about goats.

Also in Fort Kochi, we took a cooking class, and learned to make a bunch of masalas and dishes that we can never hope to replicate. There were tons of fresh spices that we have only ever seen powdered in a jar.. we are currently staying outside of Alleppey at a bed an breakfast run by an older Indian couple. We are getting a taste of authentic Keralan life and food. Including a lot of beetroot, which is surprisingly delicious here in Kerala. You should have seen the fear in our eyes the first time someone brought out a pot of shredded beets for us to try.
