This blog documents the experiences of the Fisher family in India during the Spring 2008 semester. The family was headquartered in Bangalore, where Tim spent his sabbatical leave (at the J. Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research), and they traveled to various other parts of India during their stay.

Our stay in Kerala
Last week we went to Kerala for 4 days. We flew to Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. We stayed for 2 days at the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology's campus guest house. We got to stay in the VIP suite. Then we went to Kovalam (10 miles away) and stayed at the Taj Green Cove Resort.
When we reached the resort, they gave us each a welcome necklace made of shells. After checking into our rooms, we walked down to the beach. The beach was very rocky and closed for swimming because the waves were so big. We went back to the resort and went swimming in the pool.
We played tennis twice. It was very hot, but fun. We also went to a beach where we could swim. Thomas will blog about that soon.
We loved the restaurant at the resort. It was outside by the pool. My dad ate fish curry at every meal except breakfast. He said he would make it when we get home if he can find any good fish in Indiana. Everyone loved the fish curry but me, I enjoyed the spaghetti!
