Clothes, nets


Maeve: I've grown out of my clothes, so Mommy is buying me more as we go. Here is one of my new shirts from India:




John: Many people on the ship have commented in the last couple of weeks about how much Maeve has grown since our voyage began. And they're right; she has, as she says, grown out of at least half of the clothes we brought with us. (And, too, traveling in various rainforests, cities, and rivers has been hard on all of our clothes.) We ended up donating a lot of Maeve's old clothes to an orphanage in Kochi, and have been buying new things for her as we go. India has a long tradition of making beautiful textiles, and clothes here are often gorgeous and inexpensive. 


Aidan: In India I saw Chinese fishing nets. Unfortunately, I did not see any fish in them when they pulled them up from the water. It looks ilk the world's biggest see-saw with a prize at the end if you do it right.
