While rIAm was off meditating, Hari’s niece was in the midst of getting married. It was decided to bring me along, so I could experience some of an Indian wedding. Talk about making rIAm jealous!
Since we’d had some misunderstandings in the past about when certain plans were going to happen, I was careful to inquire [...]

Our time in Kutch has expired
jft and I are currently in Bhuj, awaiting the Kutch Express, which will take us to Ahmedabad, where we take another train to Jalgoan, to begin the south Indian portion of our adventure.
We headed to this city, the major one of the Kutch region of Gujarat, after we parted ways today with our lovely Nu [...]
it’s all farm for me
As we reached the crossroads where we bid our share taxi goodbye and waited for Hari, the farm manager, to pick us up, we spent a good deal of energy trying to communicate to the assembled locals that we didn’t need any of their rickshaws.

farang gothic
After a job well done making a garden bed, we pose for a photo. Farang, remember, means (western) foreigner. Our stay at Good Earth Agriculture was good, and we accomplished quite a bit while there, both on and off the farm.
We learned about growing things in a tropical environment, including the process of composting, [...]
on the road again
Well we’ve left the farm and are now in Khon Kaen, although we’ll be leaving here soon too. The farm stay was great fun and a great education, so far described only in the captions of our flickr photos. In case you haven’t noticed, there are quite a few new photos uploaded. And there [...]
