Just a quick update to let everyone know that we got back safe and sound from our trek to the Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalayas. We weren't quite sure what trek we'd be able to pull off, getting a later start than we intended and having visa deadlines ... Read more >

Okay, so a quick Kathmandu update. We all arrived in the city last Friday, and Monica was really sick with a stomach problem that had hit on her and James' trek. James and I hung out with her for a couple of days while Wyatt and Todd (James' friends ... Read more >

Okay, so I've moved around a bit since the last post, and at this point I'm in Delhi waiting to head out to Kathmandu on Friday, and checking in with (Whitman friend) Melissa Rhodes, studying abroad here in Delhi. The quick recap of the last week:... Read more >

I keep worrying about leaving one place to go to the next--feeling there's no way it can compare with where I currently am. But I have to move at a fast clip to complete my survey of Rajasthan--it's part of the just-barely-keeping-my-hands-on-the-reins ... Read more >

It's pronounced "Boon-dee," which is fun to say three times in a row. It's a town a little off the beaten path in Rajasthan (where the beaten path is flogged near to death). I'm here, and my internet cafe is about to close, so I don't have ... Read more >

Well sorry for the break. We've been trying to update, but have focused mainly on getting our pictures up, which is maddening and inevitably unsuccessful, and takes up enough time that we don't feel like writing any update. The system seems to be working ... Read more >

Sorry for the lack of updates, but, frankly, there has been very little to bring you all up to date. We've been in Leh, by which I largely mean our small hotel room, for the past few days, battling altitude sickness. Today, however, we're both feeling ... Read more >

Woah... I mean...woah... I've only been in Delhi for about five hours now, but Ive already forgot half the things that I've done/have happened to me. This is partly from sleep deprivation on an attenuated night from Paris to Delhi, arriving at 4am, ... Read more >

This will be my blog for the next three or so months. It is intended to give a brief summary of my impressions during my travels beyond just, "Hey! This isn't what it's like at Taste of India/in that Wes Anderson movie/in that Decemberists song/in ... Read more >
