The girls, Caroline and Maria, arrived safely after a long taxi drive from Chennai. In ten minutes we were out of the door and heading for the beach promenade... As I had wondered around in the morning, I knew my way around. Caroline was here for three months in 2005, so she is friends with everyone.. Pondi is a small idyllic place, and you walk everywhere. We had a nice lunch and then got into a rickshaw that was meant to take us out to Auroville. Half the way there our driver stopped and asked a friend to take us - and thats when we met Mr Balu. What a wonderful man... and he plays music.. .He is now our designated driver, and he loves it...
We went to Auroville... http://www.auroville.org/ Have a look at its website - "Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity." What a strange but facinating place. Not sure what to make of it just yet...
Today we have been on the Aurobeach. As we were sitting in the rickshaw and Mr Balu was singing along with the great tunes pumping out of the mini sterio, I felt my shoulders relax. Beautiful and amazing to swim in the Bay of Bengal... Relaxing to be by the sea and swimming was ecstatic...I am sunburnt, as I forgot to put suncream on my legs... That is the last time I forget...
Now we will be shopping and tonight we are having a drink. This sure is luxurious...
Later,
Mai
