Monsoon



I arrived back in India three days ago. Monsoon season arrived over a month ago. The rain has brought the temperatures down and "green" is all around.

Walking around is interesting. The temperature is much more bearable, but the humidity is intimidating and the mud and puddles pretty much unavoidable. The photo above was taken on our walk yesterday from our bungalow to the Fortune Galaxy hotel. It's along the "Vapi flyover" (the elevated road on the left of the photo) and it doesn't really capture the rain and the water dripping off all the roofs.

The animals seem to be enjoying the rain, even though they occasionally take cover under roofs in front of store fronts. Yesterday we had to walk through a group of about six cows. No problem!

I'm still bothered by the trash, garbage, and animal poop all over the place. Personal spaces are clean to immaculate, but the public spaces are dirty and filled with trash. I don't understand.
