Lines new, progressive in Kerala everywhere where you have turned the look. At me last trip to Kerala in February, 1978 is fresh in memory.

The alluvial earths of it taluka (so name here an administrative unit uniting of some villages) are won from the lake Iemband formed by waters of Arabian sea. Because of plentiful monsoonal rains water in lake was freshened and used for an irrigation. To us often there are passenger boats and boats under sails or on oars. Slowly dvizhutsja barges and cargo launches. They carry in cities rice, coconuts, kopru and kojru, tea, coffee and rubbers-fruits rich keralskoj the earths. When close we approach to coast, we see, how in turquoise waters palm trees - the most characteristic line keralskogo a landscape are looked. Palm groves alternate with rice fields. From time to time coast flash multi-colour stains. It on currents of the woman in bright sari thresh and proveivajut fig.
