one of many. Men and women rowing as if they were walking down the street, but hey, no horns blasting in your ear. Quiet, except for the crows. Two men are standing up as the narrow, low amost to the waterline canoe passes. In the front, nother man paddles and in the back two young girls do the same. A large tourist boat, engines whirling and gasoline fouling the water, passes by and the girls have to quickly help balance and the men, now I see they are their fathers, tell them how to navigate safely. Another canoe, two men paddling a load of furniture. Another canoe, a group of eight adults, men and women, paddle across to the far shore and set off in a group...probably to Bible or Koran class. Another big tourist boat coming by (keeping a schedule?) with no passangers. But supper is on the table here at the Keraleeyem Resort and Ayurvedic Center, on the Nehru Canal, in Allepey. So off I go.

A canoe just went by...
