Hey, DCers. Nice article about Kerala in today's Washington Post:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/20/AR2009032000974.html The writer's experience with the backwaters houseboat trip was not at all like ours. But he does say to do the day trip (which is what we did), not the overnight, so looks like we got the best of the deal.
