Dharmsala

With a wonderful sense of accomplishment and reward for finishing the Annapurna Circuit in 15 days carrying all of our own weight, Katy and I enjoyed a couple of beers and some Western food in the lakeside town of Pokhara. We then continued onto Kathmandu, where we stayed one night before...

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is grand. Staring up at the edifice certainly inspires awe, and boggles the mind with questions of "why?" and "how?". There are a couple of different versions to answer both of these questions, so I'll encourage you to fact-check on wikipedia or someplace legitimate if...

Varanasi and Sarnath

After Mark rallied like a champ from his brief digestive bout with the help of Katy's healing hand, we ventured to Varanasi (also called Benares), the holiest city of the Hindu faith. Varanasi is almost beyond description. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and daily life for its...

Day 8 Wednesday April 22nd

Riz had another business meeting today so I wandered down the roads of Puna in search of other sights. I took along with me flat Francis and flat (I can’t remember the other girl’s name). Riz has a friend that teaches grade school in CA and is doing the flat Stanley project with his...

Day 7 Tuesday April 21st

Riz had a business meeting in the morning so after breakfast he took an auto rickshaw to work and I took my feet out for a walk. I walked down M.G. Road, Puna. The hardware store just so happens to be on this road, so it was very convenient to get to. It was still rather early, 9am, so the...

Day 6 Monday, April 20th

Riz and I arrived in Puna in the evening and took a taxi to his Uncle’s shop. His Uncle owns and operates a hardware store. By American standards the store is teeny tiny but by India standards it is rather spacious. The shop is approximately 9ftx20ft and it is amazing how much merchandise can be...

Day 4 Saturday April 18th

Riz had a dentist appointment in the morning so I spent a few hours walking up and down Mahatma Gandhi Road (the main street in ever India City). We drove over to the shopping district on his scooter. The streets of India are seemingly a free-for-all of impatient drivers, people,...

Day 1, 2, and 3 – traveling- April 15th, 16th, and 17th

My adventure began when I boarded my British Air flight to London. I was pleasantly surprised to be seated next to a chatty Fabio looking young man who informed me that he was on his way to London to compete, for the summer, in the European motorcycle racing circuit. He later told me that...
