Kerala: The Backwaters

Coir, rope made from coconut fibers.

Three generations...two demonstrate how the rope is made.  One supports.

The guide for our tour spins the wheel.

An outbuilding at the coco nut plantation.

The meat of the coconut bakes in the sun.  Over time the meat drys and  leaves an oily residue on top...coconut oil!  One of the many uses for coconuts.



One of the two boatmen, guide us through the narrow backwaters.
