Back from Mypadu- My own beach

Another travel writing assignment for Mapa Mapa. Another holiday for us. This time it was to Mypadu , a little seaside village near Nellore. OH! WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Three days of building sand castles, running on the beach and at times into the sea! The guest house where we stayed was five minutes walk from the sea, and we ( Mapa Mapa and I) spend all the of the day on the beach- I playing on and with the sand, while Mapa Mapa talked to the people around us and took notes ( of God knows what?- perhaps crabs, waves and fish). Biga slept a lot in the room- perhaps that is his idea of a holiday.
The sea looks so lovely in the moonlight.
A chieftain to the Highlands bound Cried "Boatman do not tarry! And I'll give you a silver pound To row me o'er the ferry."

Seeing Mapa Mapa write, I also started drawing pictures of what else , the sea? Can't you see?

I am in the process of making sandcastles.

See I have built a sandcastle with 10 towers on the beach. Middle is the king's palace with pink flag.

Sari weaving at Patur village- One morning we ( Biga and I ) accompanied Mapa Mapa to the nearby village of Patur to see how saris are made. This was a new experience for me, for till now I had seen saris ( obviously), but not seen them getting made. Mapa Mapa bought 3 ( 1 for for Thammi, 1 for Bhaiti and 1 for Monidadi/ Mejdadi).
