Great way to start 2008!

12/28 – 12/31 Ideal Beach Resort – A great way to end a 2+ month-long adventure!

Although one day we toured historical sites and saw the monuments from 600 AD at Mamallapuram and the stone cutters who make incredible small & large stone figures, we spent the majority of the time at the resort.  We also visited our friend, Venothan and his family and had a delicious lunch at his home.  'Venod' is a former staff member of the resort who took care of Chuck 4 years ago when he was sick. Venod not only took him to the doctor, administered the right medications, brought him a special diet, but slept near his room at night.  He is really a saint!

A fabulous buffet and a program of singing, dancing, drama, and games highlighted our stay, which ended on New Year's Eve.  After the fireworks, we saw Kirsten off to England and the rest of us left the next night.  Although we headed for 3 different countries, the four of us were together to celebrate the beginning of another year!  What a GREAT way to start 2008!
