Tamil Nadu, Continued...

After Parisian Pondicherry and the Mars-like Auroville, we re-entered the reality of India and continued on our way through more temple towns in Tamil Nadu. It has been hard to navigate our feelings; On one side, we feel amazed by the scale and beauty of these ancient temples. On the other side, we feel suffocated by the chaotic streets and cities. That's what being in this country is all about...finding a balance between the two.
Watch how you go...

    I've been resisting saying this on each of my posts but I hope E is wearing lots of sunscreen- he's getting pretty dark!

    Keep breathing, keep feeling, keep writing, keep watching.

    Love you.
