Spring Break: Beach, Backwaters, and Beautiful Indian Scenery

Ty and I just returned from an amazing trip in Kerala for our Spring Break.  We're now officially 2 days into our last term in B-school...which is insane to both of us!  It's a bittersweet time though, as we're loving our experience in India but realizing that we won't be seeing our Duke friends again during the MBA experience (soon after though, we hope!)

On our 10-day trip through southern India, we visited Cochin, Allepey, Varkala, and Munnar - all amazing Indian locations with different environments, scenery, and vibes.  See some of the pics below, and PLEASE let us know if you're traveling in the area, as we'd love to offer suggestions. We traveled by planes, trains, government and private busses, houseboat, taxis, and auto-rickshaws, tried new Indian cuisines (and found some traveler-friendly spots with real coffee and Western food as well!), and took in the wildly diverse sights, sounds, and, yes...even smells, of this part of India.  The travel bug is alive and well in both of us!
