Marari Beach -- my cottage has an outdoor bathroom!

 After a final breakfast on our houseboat and a short morning cruise, we boarded the bus and departed. We stopped in a village where the women did some shopping, mostly for colorful Indian-style clothing.

Around noon we arrived at the Marari Beach Resort. This place is fabulous. I have my own cottage. Amazingly, it has an outdoor bathroom. I've never seen a plumbed outdoor bathroom before! The resort is right on the Arabian sea. I took an afternoon swim and found the water delightfully warm and fresh.  

For lunch I enjoyed a cheese pizza and Coca-Cola at the beach front grill – – $8 US.

I just missed seeing the sunset.

The last night together before the group starts dispersing for home. Our group enjoyed a farewell dinner together. Another big buffet.

These are termed "spicy pickles" but are more like chili pastes or curries or maybe spicy chutneys?

My neighbors in Dallas sent me this photo of Scout enjoying her breakfast. It looks like she's doing well.
