Houseboating in Kerala

Houseboating the backwaters of Kerala is absolute bliss.  We floated between banks of palm trees looking out over rice fields that reached to the horizons. Rice growers build their houses on the banks of the river, and seem to paint their houses the brightest of colors.

We bought freshwater shrimp across the way and our houseboat chef prepared them for us for dinner... mmm.mmm...

Full disclosure is required though: It was 97 degrees and about 65% humidity. Very hot and sticky, but just fine for a lazy day "rolling down the river".
