Day 8, Kochi West, Sukumo, furthest west we will ever be. To meet up with another [1] researcher and project coordinator. Working with the community on developing walking tours. Day starts real early, about six, sun does rise early here, [2] mitsu waiting for me at my favourite joint. It's a two hour drive through the country, [3] portside [4] mist in the morning sun and the [5] open Pacific Ocean I've yet to touch. [6] the community is out in force as we start our session at the centre, recording stories and making portraits. [7] most efficient setup now, installed and carried to site, positive prints now possible in two minutes! Meeting [8] some organisers from the Sukumo walking tour group, at their local meeting. [9] @Sonoaida arrives to lend us a hand over the weekend, as we finalise the last two days of exhibit and fieldwork. [10] As west as this city is, this is the furthest east I've ever been. Glimpse into life of the people here. As sugar was a luxury, this historical trading port town sugar coats every meal. It extends to their hospitality too
