Driving up the Eastern Coast of Tamil Nadu

Eastern India is so different than the Western coast.  It's the Tamil religion and there are miles and miles of undeveloped coastline.  Nothing but fishermen doing what they have done for centuries.  The town of Trinchy has the largest temple complex in all of India.  It's amazing to see how these super large temples function in modern day.  They are essentially unchanged from ancient times.  You can buy pots and pans, toys, religious icons, and coca cola all in one place.  It's just a one stop shop.  You can also pray to Vishnu and a hundred other gods before you get your kitchen goods.  The only thing missing is the livestock which are now outside.   I missed my chance to lay on the ground and roll around only because I was not Hindu.  Oh well, next time.

Last night I was ushered to front of the line by a group of men in a "supermarket".  They insisted that I go ahead of them.  Period.  Next time you are in Tom Thumb, just think about it.  LOL  Farewell from the other side of the world
