Pondicherry Photos...

I told you we felt right at home :)


Street scenes (notice the string of communist flags in the second photo)



Traditional Tamil decoration outside the front door. It's made of rice flour and is an offering to the ants and other "friends" so that they will eat outside your house and not in your house :) They can also be very colorful, filled in with all sorts of colored powders.



The Waterfront....




This is a Ferriswheel from near the waterfront.


and this is what makes it go - there is a big belt that the guy engages and disengages....the black smoke is when he engages it and it loads the engine to get the big wheel turning!
