Kerala



We went to Jew Town in Cochin today. We met Sarah Cohen, one of the last ten Jews here in Kerala. The rest have left for Israel. She makes children's clothing and knits a variety of other things. It was a unique experience to meet her. The synagogue was locked, so we will come back another time.

We will show pictures when we get back next week!



The Chinese brought this kind of fishing net here centuries ago. Here in India they are used only here in Kerala. We saw these on the waterfront today. Really neat.

Kerala is a tropical paradise. Beautiful!
