Another Sunday in Vapi

Although officially monsoon has about another month to go, the frequency of rain definitely has been waning the last week or two. Today we had sunshine for most of our 8 km (5 mile) walk. Of course, that means it's also hot and dusty.  I'll need to start carrying a liter of water with us -- a half-liter wasn't enough!

Marble and granite vendors in Vapi.
The sidewalks in Vapi are raised 12 to 18 inches above the road. They cover drainage deep ditches (3 to 4 feet deep) that drain the monsoon waters off the roads. It's not unusual to have sections of the concrete sidewalk missing -- and you definitely don't want to fall into this water!
