Not only was it supposed to be "refreshing," but they believe when the pulp from a green coconut is mixed with a little rum (160 proof), it's supposed to make you more fertile. My husband liked the rum and the pulp about the same (not at all), but all of the other men on the outing did it, so.... lol. (They even offered a hut to one newly married couple after drinking the concoction!! lol)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-46220696746941966492008-09-13T10:19:00.000-08:002008-09-13T10:19:00.000-08:00Bravo!

Yikes!<BR/>The Holy man photo is fabulous! They are always so interesting!<BR/><BR/>AS if HOMELESS, that is an understatement. We have NOT seen poverty and homelessness here in the US, like they have in India!<BR/>India used to have to classes, the super RICH and the super poor. LUCKILY, there is now a bit of a middle class (thanks to all the call centers and International companies that have moved there)....but the poverty is still HUGE over there...a really sad aspect of India!
