Nepal

Things are going well here, I have gotten sick almost immediately as we arrived in the country. But I had had an illness brewing towards the end of our India trip. Since I can't hold down food no volunteering for me yet! But a few thoughts on compassion already. Perhaps compassion is the implicit recognition that all life is connected, that we are all one in a fundamental way. It is like the plaq on a statue in India read "Children of the Earth, All ye are one!"

Off to India!

Today I leave for India! My flight from Atlanta leaves at 3:55pm. Then it is off to Chicago, then a 15.5 hour flight to New Deli. Then we spend the night in the Deli airport, then it's back on a plane at 6:50am to Mumbai. Thomas has a driver all lined up to meet us at the airport, and then it is off to Arjermbab? Or some city. I bet this first part will be the easiest part of the journey /sarcasm.

Anyway, Small pieces of travel advice:
1. Bring a good luck charm.
2. Bring pictures of your family.
