Lucy's Locale: “Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.”

I spent almost all of last week in Kerala, India, which is the westernmost state in the southern part of the country. Kerala is developmentally unique in India, with the highest literacy rates, lowest infant mortality rates, and more gender equality and equal aptly named. I took classes in the morning and traveled in the afternoons. The book “1000 Things To Do In The World Before You Die" includes sailing on the canals of Kerala, India. So, my friends and I "checked" that off our Bucket List. The canals of Kerala are referred to as the “Venice of the East.” My group sat on top of our boat, dangling out legs over the dazzling water, frantically snapping as many pictures as we could of the setting sun. When we finally lost our light, we all laid down, lulled into a profound state of relaxation by the water below us as the stars above.
