Costford

We got to hear some more presentations about the work being done by Costford and Kudumbarshee and see some more micro-enterprises. I got a pair of sandals made from the stem of the beetlenut tree with coconut fiber uppers and rubber soles from the rubber tree. I like to buy stuff from the micro-enterprises, it's supporting a worthwhile cause....much better than paying someone who's selling products 3 or more times removed from the actual producers at a major mark-up in price.

Good news: in the afternoon we walked around Thrissur--big shopping area with the downtown filled with lots of small, mom and pop type stores. I found an adaptor for my camera and was able to download pictures. Now I just need to figure out how to upload them to this blog. I'll try not to post too many food shots.
