exploring the world one bite at a time
Dear Michal,
I am so heart broken to know that you, my dear youngest cousin, are gone. Joshua and I are both so sorry that we are not in Toronto to say a final good bye to you.
I feel especially full of sorrow because I am not there for your dad, my wonderful and irreplaceable [...]
Since January we have been on the move, never in the same place for more than a few weeks and rarely for more than a few days. We’ve found ourselves in planes, trains and automobiles.

Finally the message got through, and the local postman, mailbag [...]
After what felt like whirlwind tour of Toronto and Chicago – it was wonderful to see so many people! – we’re back in India. It’s kind of hard to believe that between rIAm and myself we had at least 6 different blog ideas we wanted to write while home.
None happened.
rIAm did manage one post while [...]
Toronto is whacking me over the head with its multiculturalism and its niceness.
