Back in Vapi

Lon's business in Mumbai has concluded, so we're finally back home in Vapi. Except for a re-arrangement of merchandise in the Low Price supermarket, not much has changed!

First, the obligatory cattle-in-the-road picture:
Six-lane high-speed highway. Clearly no one clued the cows that they were traveling in the wrong direction -- and in the passing lane.

Anyone need a good stiff drink?

Yesterday (Sunday) I took a trip with the Rotary Club to help with a "medical camp" that brings doctors to unserved areas. I doubt if I was much help (mostly "worked" crowd control), but I did get to see a beautiful agricultural area about 80 km (and 2 hours) from Vapi. The ride up into the hills reminded me of West Virginia -- with palm trees!

View from the hotel lunch pavilion where we ate. It was very reminiscent of rural Costa Rica.
One of the villages we drove by on our way. That's rice nearing harvest time in the foreground.
