Last Day At Amritapuri

Well, we sadly leave the ashram tomorrow. We have met friends from all over the world: Donatella and Luke from Italy; Miriam and Marie from France; the Indian dairy farmer Shamunga; our rickshaw driver Santhos; the German family, the Americans, Canadians, Finish, Danish, Belgians, and many others. We have so many offers to stay with people when we visit Europe. Very open, very kind people.

We are going to Kovallam, which is a seaside resort area south of Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram). We are going to live it up for four days like typical American tourists at our seaside villa before coming home Monday. It's been an incredible experience.

Jolena and Steve are at the swimming pool right now for the last time, and I was doing our laundry in a bucket in the room. THank God for travel size Tide from Target. We leave the ashram filled with lots of joy shared from all of the great people here. I have to do dishes one last time today,and Steve has trained Charlie from Manhattan to take over his job su[pervising the breakfast line, so will work with him one more day tomorrow before we leave.

We have a three hour taxi ride to Kovallam. I'm grateful for my mp3 player, because the honking will be obnoxious again.

Ciao! Love, Jude, Steve and Jo-Jo
