About me

This is my first trip to India. The organization Reach Vision has invited my company to be a part of a public health outreach program that centers around aiding rural India. I am travelling to research the program and have a better understanding of the services provided. More information on the organization can be found at www.reachvision.org

Alleppey

So after a little help from the locals in Ernakulam, I made my way to Alleppey to see the backwaters. This has been a different experience than I have had anywhere else. In the beginning I was very uncomfortable.  I finally relaxed during a backwater tour.  It was far more beautiful than I imagined it would be.  The tour takes you through the villages that are surrounded by canals. The canals are trimmed by coconut, some resort lodges and village homes. Boats are the main source of transportation for the people living in the villages and the town is more pedestrian friendly than the other areas.

Today, I plan to take a day trip to Varkala to explore the beach area then head back to Ernakulam to prepare for my train trip to Madras.
