    Pete said he loves (specifically my) comments, so here I am. In all my years in India I never got to do an overnight houseboat, so I've put it on the shortlist for next Jan and we'll have to see how things play out as we get closer. Right now it's between Hampi and this and I don't look forward to making that final decision, because this looked awesome. Also that fish is one of my favorites and I miss it.
