Going Home

So we've been tying up loose ends in Israel, but we haven't forgotten our promise to get more stories and more photos and more video posted here - in due time. I just zipped my suitcase for the last time as I begin to accept the reality of my return home starting at 530am tomorrow. I haven't seen the states since May 2008 and I haven't seen my family home in Pittsburgh since November 2007. It's an odd feeling returning home after so long, when you've changed so much and you understand that home isn't a stagnant pool either. Misha and I will say our goodbyes as she leaves in a week. Change is all around. We'll keep you posted.

We're Still Here, for now

Been on the run after some last minute ails in Rishikesh, hitting public bus after public bus, 7hrs after 7hrs after 15hrs and sadly going nowhere far - no one promised smooth running asphalt veins in India. Ddin't expect them either. Briefly, I'll say, to whet your appetites, that we shocked our droopy postures and kicked the ground for some last minute adventures. I'm talking braving the tumultuous glacier fed waters of the younger side of the Ganges River in a white water raft then scouting the terrain by jeep and elephant back for tigers and like wild beasts in the wilds of the Corbett Tiger Reserve. Adventurous? Yes. Currently we've settled into luxury, shopping the final days in Delhi.
We'll write you soon. Upon return we'll throw up some slide-shows of the best pics and videos.
