Remembering the travels ... 2009 !

Well here's the last day of 2009 & tomorrow begins a brand New Year..2010..!!It has been a good year & I was able to make some wonderful trips as well.

Pic 1 : Trail in Coorg

Our first trip this year was to Coorg in Karnataka. It was our anniversary celebration trip & trekking on Tadiyandamol, walking on plantation trails, relishing Coorgi cuisine was exactly how I wanted to celebrate it :) This followed by meeting up friends in Bangalore, made this trip memorable :)

Turn in the South - V S Naipaul

Another book in the travelogue genre, and this one is about the author's travels and experiences in the American south.

As opposed to my expectations, this book started on a boring tone. Instead of focusing on travel, it was more about a family, what they are eating, where and how they stay, routine etc. This was how it began. Later on however it became apparent that it is a theme based travelogue, theme being: racism, slavery, post civil war situation of blacks/whites.
