Best of the season… (Pokhara)
Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Hey there!
It’s odd, but I have not been assauted by Christmas music this year, and while my heart is really heavy when I think about home (”home” emotionally, is a loaded word). I am enjoying my travels, and each day is spent learning, in some respect. It’s not that I’m not constantly assaulted by novelty. […]

Anna Purna!
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Greetings from overcast Nepal. This place is still wonderful, three days ago (or Christmas Day) I found my self celebrating Christmas on a snowy mountain base camp in the Himalayas. I don’t exactly what possessed me to trek about 140K in 8 days (six days up, 2 days down - the last two days comprised […]

Nepal -
Sunday, December 17th, 2006

Yes, Nepal is amazing, and i’m REALLY enjoying Kathmandu. I’m heading out on a trek tomorrow for 11 or 12 days. So, I don’t expect I will write anything on here till that’s over. The city does keep us entertained. While, we had a difficult time choosing a cmopany to use for a trek, we […]

Delhi to Kathmandu
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

You know – there have been amazing things on the trip through Northern India that I’ve been working through. As you can tell from my blog posts – there has been a definitive lack of inspiration. As this “India” became something that I needed to do, for myself, rather than something I would simply enjoy.
I’ve […]

On the move… Khajuraho
Monday, December 11th, 2006

Hey there –
I’m sorry I have not felt like posting. So – I’m just going to give you some filler on what I have been up to.
I was at Veranasi, where I finally started to hit my groove. Thishas continued to Khajuraho(I traveled to the place by AC2 (wonderful) and bus(sucks), where I took part […]

Varanasi otherwise known as “Very Nasty”
Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Alright, it’s not that bad. However, if you’re chatting over a difficult cell phone connection/ overseas phone call, it’s possible to understand how you could misinterpret the word Varanasi into the familiar words “Very nasty”. (This small mistake that resulted in hours of mirth for Jason and I). Again, not the first place I would […]

Bodhgaya
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

You know, it’s difficult to describe what I am seeing here… When I first arrived here it was between 5:30 and 6:15 in the morning, the roatation of the eath was forcing the sun itself into the sky. It’s was beautiful, it seemed like the sky was on fire, the air carried a chill and the breeze of […]

Kolkata to Bodhgaya
Friday, December 1st, 2006

Well, it’s difficult to express my thoughts on Bodhgaya, as I’ve only been here for a short time. Last night I got on the night train from Kolkata, which was an experience.
Yesterday was a decompression day as Kolkata had me wound up; it’s difficult to be in Kolkata, as the locals target us, as we […]
