in the water
We saw another waterfall on our way to Kerala. I forgot to get the name! This one is a pilgrimage site, and therefore filled with people. Vendors line the water in canopied huts piled with fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods.

men bathing in the water by the falls
A long winding concrete road brought us up to the top where men stood in the falls, washing and bathing, and generally laughing and having a good time.

I felt a pang of jealousy. I wanted to get into that water, though in a bathing suit and not while surrounded by only a group of men. I wished it were equal and free, that the women could be in there bathing beside the men, altogether having fun. I stood on the rocks and watched, once again, as Kevin enjoyed the waters.

And although these falls were pretty, and a fun trip great for seeing lots of people, they did not have the same enchanting allure for me that our recent trek through the jungle to find hidden waterfalls inspired!
