Awesome moment #5983: Our trip to Wayanad. Wayanad is a district about 3 hours away from Nilambur. It is largely agricultural and much of that consists of tea and coffee. The seven of us teachers were able to stay in a gorgeous two bedroom, four couch homestay with beautiful views, an amazing cook, and A CRAZY AWESOME BATHROOM. Check out the picture right now. No seriously, right now. I'll wait. Crazy awesome, right? In case you think your eyes deceive you, they don't. They wouldn't do that to you. Three walls and a garden. When you go to the bathroom, you get a connection to nature that you just don't get from a glass-block window...but don't get me started on that. And taking a shower? Talk about Eve-esque! I was ready for a serpent to present me with an apple at any moment.
Sadly, I had a cold the entire time I was there so I was forced to sit on one of the many porches and sip the best tea I ever had on a non-stop basis...and nap. They should build more hospitals with that kind of view and that kind of tea. The night views were wonderful as well. One night there was a very bright moon that lit the whole valley and part of the mountains. I never felt so strongly that I needed an DSLR camera. Here are a few more pictures of the house, my room, and the views.
Also, the morning we left, I walked down to the tea factory to see what I could see of the tea with no fee or a key. It was quite a sea of tea. Okay, I'm done. Too many homophone lessons for the kiddies.

That is so breathtaking Alyssa! Thinking of you and missing you!
ReplyDeleteWay to go girl you have finally hit it!! Glad to hear the potty benefits from the garden and vice versa I am sure.
ReplyDeleteSorry you were a bit under the weather, but we've had a bit of weather to weather ourselves (try that on the kiddies).
Seem to still be suffering some type of Disaster Syndrome -- dazed and confused, hard to focus, flaky all the time. And by gosh, CT was NOT one of the states to legalize pot, so it can't be that.
Take care of the pipes, take care of the diva. And love to you and your companion goddess.
