The other morning Scott and I visited a local elephant training compound where elephants are trained to help with forestry projects. We also visited a small zoo that they have on site. The elephants are given a bath every moring in the river and are scrubbed with halved coconut shells.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz5xa82ZM64 ... Read more ... |

It's all behind us now. We will be putting together the video's we have shot and all the pictures we have taken, probably more than 1800, so we can present a clear concise view of what we saw and learned. For me it has been a contradiction in view's. I came to India with a view of how the country worked through the eyes of the middle class and then spent three weeks seeing India throgh the eyes of the lowest level of society. Much to think about. We'll keep you posted on our video work. Should be interesting when we... Read more ... |

We are finally finished, no more rickshaws for us every morning or so we thought! This morning was another amazing event as we returned our rides. We had one last heart pounding morning, as I drove to the check in, in true race car fashion. We had to drive through the city of Kochin (30 minutes) and reached the hotel we thought was the return site. But as usual in India, things are not always what they seem. We were at the wrong place. After a ferry boat ride and one more hour we reached the end. Out of 63... Read more ... |

Well here we are in Goa India and some say it is THE place to be. They are right. I could stay here for a week. On the ocean at the Marriott and it's going to be hard to get back into the Chariot in two days. We are taking a day off. As the weeks run together we become more warn out. The first few days we were really ready to go. Starting the day was the best part of it. Now that we are days into the run and the little Tuk takes it's physical toll on us, the... Read more ... |

Well here we are in Pune India at the Le Meridian. Not too bad since we have been basically sleeping on boards, each night for the last week. This hotel is fantastic as I knew it would be. Great place to take a day off. Again we drove the alighty Tuk at night, which is a harrowing experience in india. I'm dangerous driving at night so Skip takes the Night Tain Shift. Young eyes and good reflexes make for a safe trip. Well as safe as it can get in a three wheeled Auto Rickshaw made for local streets. We... Read more ... |
