Cherai Beach

Cherai Beach is one of many cool beaches India has to offer. We stopped for a dip but couldn't go out very far as the tides are vicious because of the pending Monsoon season. It was a great time, the boys had a blast even though they had to hold on to one of us at all times. Everyone was staring in amazement at the white people - again.... I like to think it's because I look smashing in a bathing suit! (Hey I'm putting the time in to make this blog - I'll compliment myself every chance I can get!) Ethan did learn a valuable lesson that day too - never run into the Ocean with your mouth open! I'm glad I had some gum on hand! You'll find the Indian women here go swimming in their clothes, I have yet to see a bathing suit. Later after having some ice cream we met a very sleepy camel who gives rides. We nick-named him "Curry", and we all had fun posing in front of him. I chose not to have anyone of us ride him because it really didn't look that safe and we saw some young girls ride him earlier and it was extremely rough and they were crying. So you can see why I didn't think it was necessary to have a ride from Curry. One picture you will see is a Chinese fishing net that are all over India.

He was busy moving very big logs, and wouldn't ya know it - right when I'm taking his picture he starts peeing! Don't worry I won't include those pictures! Wait until you see the next entry, we had so much fun! Love ya! (Just a reminder, if you click on a picture it makes them bigger...Thanks!)
