Danika and I returned to Bangalore yesterday after 6 glorious days at the Mangalore beach. My Uncle Gerard celebrated his 50th birthday in style by inviting everyone he knew to the Mangalore coast for a two day weekend celebration (we over-stayed our welcome I think). Neeks and I only landed up on the second day because we had to finish our crazy tour of Northern India. The whole weekend was made that much better because we had almost all of our family together in one place. Even my grandparents had a ball, donning their beachwear and joining in the festivities. A few noteworthy hilights: Having coconut juice and vodka cocktails IN tender coconuts! Going swimming in the ocean after breakfast, lunch and dinner (who says you have to wait 1 hour?). Listening to my tone deaf Aunt Monica and Uncle Gerard wail to music they don't know the lyrics to. Having fried fish for breakfast everyday!
Of course my impending return to Toronto's freezing weather made me a complete sun monger. I have turned a new shade of brown, and will probably pay heavily with premature wrinkles one day. But for the time being it was well worth it! We listened to the waves crashing as we fell asleep, we watched orange, pink and red sunsets, and feasted on seafood that was caught fresh every day, it was true paradise. Thank you Gerard for an awesome party, one shouldn't turn 50 any other way!
