Goa and Fort Cochin picture time

More pictures from Goa:


One of countless old Goan Catholic churches.




A field outside of Anjuna with water buffalo.



The dreaded night train south to Kerala.



Here are some pictures from Fort Cochin (aka Kochi), Kerala.




There are some massive old trees here.



Alicia and I met a kooky rickshaw-walla (3-wheel taxi driver) named Jitu. He took us around to some super bizarre places a couple days ago including a fisherman village. This is their mini-entrance to Cochin Harbor.



Some fishermen getting ready to head out for the evening.




Everyone keeps saying how clean Kerlala is compared to the rest of India (which is a solid trash-sty, everywhere...). Fort Cochin so far is as filthy as the rest. We're hoping that when we get out of the city trash will go into the trash, vs. in the gutter or on the side of the road.



Our funny driver, Jitu, loves playing with the digital camera. He took this picture of a wholesale rice stand. Each dish is a different set of rice.



A lumber mill cutting local wood, mostly coconut trees. I don't think this place would pass an inspection by the fire marshall in the US.
