One Last Excursion

Well I've been away for awhile which you all should take is a very good sign. I've been so busy living my life that blogging didn't feel like a huge priority. Well, now I have a mug of tea and some free time so let the catch up commence!

What you have missed (the extremely short & summed up version): 

1. KERALA

For our last excursion we traveled to Tamil Nadu's neighboring state of Kerala. Kerala is located on the west coast and my God, it is incredibly beautiful! Highlights of the trip to be honest were doing absolutely nothing. This excursion was truly about being on vacation, and hey... I'm not complaining! Sure we saw some palaces, temples, & other historic mumbo jumbo but two days at the beach made me an incredibly happy person! Kerala is known for their oil massages so I found the cheapest one I could and had it done.

Note to self/other travelers: that was a mistake.
It was my first massage ever so I had no idea what to expect. However, I certainly did not think that I would be forced to strip down right in front of the guy who was massaging me! Also, not to mention that he was talking to me the entire time, it was pretty awkward. So, I have heard that these massages are good maybe it is a better idea to splurge for something a little more expensive.

2 .  KANYAKUMARI:

After spending a few days in Kerala, we headed down south to Kanyakumari which is actually a part of Tamil Nadu. What is Kanyakumari known for? Well first off, it lies on the southern most tip of India and is the spot where all three oceans come together (bay of Bengal, Indian ocean, and the Arabian sea). Secondly, it is a hugely historical spot in terms on ancient India. The ocean thing made it a cool enough place in my opinion, but all in all it was a good time. :)

Pointing to all three oceans!
