Final Few

Another couple days of relaxing in Varkala. We visited the good lunch spot in town again, lounged on our porch and had tea & cake, played in the sand and swam in the sea. Had great dinners with our kiwi friends who we will never forget and fell asleep to crashing waves. The last two days the sea has been tumultuous. Massive waves relentlessly booming onto shore. We've stayed out of it just playing in the sand or the foam, it's pretty scary. You'll see someone swim out then 5 minutes later come stumbling back to shore. The water is a little bit colder but otherwise the weather hasn't changed. The locals don't know much more then "it's not a good day for swimming", but seem to imply they get events like this periodically. 
We get a taxi to the airport at 1:15a to catch our 4:30a flight to Dubai which takes 4.5 hours. Then the 14.5 hr stretch to Seattle on Emirates again. Lee has been getting another tooth(the one next to his meat tooth) and it's been making him uncomfortable and fussy. I'm a little uneasy about the long flight but we'll get through it. Tylenol seems to help a little. 
Overall it's been an amazing trip, we're planning our next adventure already!
