Dizzying heights















Kodaikanal, India. A hill station in the Ghats Mountains. Breathtaking.

Not sure how to really describe the views from this mornings hike. First, following waterfalls. Then. The valley, mist swirling, was stunning...surrounded by the blue mountain shadows, lush with green and dotted with quaint cottages. So peaceful So errie. So incredibly beautiful.

And chocolate. Homemade chocolate is a specialty of Kodai and was absolutely consumed from a precarious (although safe, Mom) perch on the mountainside...watching the mist settle in, listening to the waterfalls below and the rumble of the approaching thunderstorm...

Also, you might notice from the pictures, it's COLD here. Pants, t-shirt, sweater and raincoat cold. See your breath in the rain cold. So cold, there are hot showers. And hot tea in the afternoon. Mmmmm mountains...
