As I begin writing, it is exactly 366 days – to the hour and minute, no less – since the timestamp on the very first photo we took after departing from Chicago’s Midway airport on a cool January afternoon. In the intervening months, we found ourselves in 10 countries (12 if you count layovers in [...]

travelin’ companion
Our nearly 7 weeks in India have been an interesting mix of activity and rest, friendly faces and pushy vendors, solitude and companionship. We started by making new friends in Mumbai, and then landed in a slice of heaven on the farm in Gujarat.
