Trip to Kanyakumari, Madurai
October 30, 2008 is not exactly a city, but the typical tangle of Indian traffic, dust and men. Last night we got stuck with the car in an alley where every living thing seemed to have given conference, possibly in the wrong direction. Good Sekar almost lost patience with an old skinny that towed a dilapidated empty cart as her eyes, but somehow we managed to reach a hotel. The choice is pretty lousy though three stars, but I give in because he was tired and hungry and Lonely says that you can eat well on the terrace. Lonely unless telling the truth this time I get rid of you.
At dinner I met two students very roman à la page that gave me confidence and caught my first mosquito bite on my stomach. Bah. A nagging sore throat who knows how and where to take me from today to visit the famous Sri Meenakshi temple complex. However, this morning at breakfast from the hotel terrace, I saw emerge from the thick layer of pollution in the city of its storied gopuram ... A dazzling vision: I believe that these elaborate conical towers were the inspiration for a city that I do not know which episode of Star Wars. In fact, thanks to the yellow haze of the Indian sky, seem to emerge out of time.
