November 24, 2015 Currently: Trying my darndest not to think about the fact that I only have a week left so I keep enjoying every moment! It was blue! Recap: pink city (Jaipur), golden city (Jaisalmer), and now the blue city (Jodhpur). They really like their J-names here in Rajasthan don't they? Jodhpur is another …
November 20, 2015 Currently: Jamming out to some Indian dance wedding music. It's loud and late, but it's a good thing I have this blog as an excuse to stay up! I love Jaisalmer! Big surprise, I know. It's a whole different side of India. Driving in, the change was immediate. The landscape more desolate, …
November 18, 2015 Currently: Dusty... very, very dusty. End of part two of three came and went with Delhi. We had to say goodbye to some really incredible people - Kerry, Rachel, Emma, Glen, and Elaine! They were all such great fun to have on the trip and it was sad to see our time …
November 14, 2015 Currently: In denial that I've almost completed two-thirds of my trip! En route to Jaipur, we stopped by another palace created by Akbar.

November 10, 2015 Currently: Antsy, as I'm in THE city home to the Taj Mahal. Dream realized! Oh yeah, and it's Diwali. So add a lot of sugary treats and fireworks to that antsiness. Let's add a little spice to this blog, shall we? I need to forewarn everyone and say these images are definitely …
November 8, 2015 Currently: Tumbling along a twelve-hour truck journey to our next destination of Khajuraho After Kathmandu, we took the newbies to Chitwan where I participated in a grand total of zero activities. As my almost halfway point throughout my trip, I took a little me-time to enjoy the Rhino Lodge, do some laundry, …
November 4, 2015 Currently: Missing the original Drago crew Nepal, you are so bittersweet. I've officially finished my first of three legs (Kolkata - Kathmandu) in my epic adventure across India. I'm sad to see the original group leave. Right when you've gotten used to everyone's quirks, the trip ends. We had a brilliant time together and …
November 3, 2015 Currently: Devouring the final pages in The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and enjoying a peaceful relaxing last day in Nepal. Nepal has been so good to me.
