Earthquake: Yes. How slow is the G20 news coming in? I feel many of your friends from home have stories to share. Pretty crazy things going on around these parts. Still, you're not missing much.
I wouldn't call sliding down a mountain after seeing the view of a lifetime "less thrilling". I want to know everything you're eating. BRIAN! Have you eaten yogourt??
love tibetan spirit hi friends! Well, you may not remember who i am (michelle, mouchacha, amelia s friend, lived in john s bath tub, worked on a farm with holly, burlington bus)... ummm... Sounds like yáll are having an awesome trip! I´m in Baksu (near dharamsala...studying the santoor and will be starting butoh classes soon... I have been away for.. almost 9months and would be soooo happy to connect with you, hamilton love. It´s not part of your plan, mais i thought it might happen´you´re sooo close!!!! This place is full of Tibetan refugee s and it´s really amazing to witness the courage, love and strength they embody. It´s quite touristy here, but at the same time it´s so easy to get away from it all.
Hope the bellys recover and you have a nice trip home. peace peace peace
Mountain Life Envy, envy, envy! Love to be in the mountains! I have yet to meet a mountain that I did not like but then I've not needed ropes to get up any of the ones I've been on. Looking forward to photos when you can send them out.

sandwich faced yer nuts.
first, just to clarify, it takes quite a heroic appetite to dream of sandwiches and sandwich ingredient shopping, for which i commend you. I have actually seen Jenna's eye swell and glisten in conversation of such things.
second -- this is the part where the world is too psychosynchronistic for comfort sometimes -- i only just read this entry. On the date you wrote it, however, I was indeed enjoying a sandwich, made of none other than the very aforementioned ingredients: tomato, avacado, ciabatta, ... there are witnesses and co-consumers of this event. Maybe you were really dreaming about wanting to feed me a delicious sandwich. Either way, thanks for the manifestation ; P It was well-directed.
recieved Got the package today.
After reading about Brian's sandwich dream, on my way home from work I got bagels, mock deli slices, sprouts, avocado, etc. Made an epic couple of sandwiches. Sent delicious vibes your way.
Hope you continue to enjoy your time out there!
lovley! sounds like you guys are having adventures you could only have while being free to go whereever you like!! Think of you guys often... It's been REALLLY hot here too, it's just rained a bit and it's finally cooling down. :D I'm happy that you can sleep in a bit longer now, and I will definatly eat a sandiwch for both of you.
Love Sarah
Pictures and Reading I get a lot more pictures from reading so do keep writing also! Jenna must have been really warm in all the clothing she was wearing. I am always glad that I was born male and I suspect I would be even more glad in the eastern countries. Looking forward to more adventures to come.
Sandwiches It's nice to break the "no bread" rule from the naturopath at times but I too miss what used to be a daily lunch sandwich. Perhaps it would be easier if there were not any bread around but the grocery stores are full of what passes for bread in this country. I doubt that there is anything that would make me happy about being in New Delhi. Hope the sandwiches meet your expectations!
glad to hear the wood is warm We have been doing daily staff training here and its totally different but lots of fun. We just started doing fencing with actual swords yesterday!! I already have a cut on my knuckle but we get to use swords!! Keep well and way the Dit da jow be with you!
Sounds like you kids are having a great time. Kalari training seems pretty interesting, maybe you will have some fun new tricks to share when you come back.
Just wanted to let you guys know your staffs are being well taken care of, we took them out for some exercise by sunset on the roof of the gym last night. It was pretty awesome.
no mean feet no we are not getting the foot massages. Traditionally they are integral to Kalari but our programme has limited time to incorporate all aspects of the art. We are already on a crash course to learn the 1st year syllabus condensed into a one month course. Also there are no women here currently who could give jenna the massage treatments anyways. We can get massaged by hand by a pro who also trains in Kalari but he is treating locals as well as other students so i would have to get up at 4:30 a.m. everyday to recieve his care.
5:30 am is early enough for me.
Wondering I wonder what they all are saying about the two of you.
I am also wondering about the guy that could take on 30 that you talked of a while ago. What if he met 30 others with the same skills. Messy?
Looks like you are keeping your selves busy. I am glad to get the blog link. It will be a good distraction away from the farm world. I look forward to hearing about your next adventures.
Who else shares my name This is Brian Tammi from Minnesota I googled my name for fun and got this. Just wondering who you are. thats all.
I'm in Afghanistan now but have access to e-mail. Thanks. Brian
Sport/Art/Self Defence Just spent 10 minutes looking at videos of your new sport. Very impressive! Are you getting the "hard massages" with someone standing on your body with oily feet?
Great to hear from you! Hey man your blog is awesome!
Hope you had a great birthday and I'll be checking up on you here now regularly!
Glad you are safe!!
I enjoyed your India post. It made me want to go there. My blog is looking for travel photos. If you have any time, email us some at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com or check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com
Continued fun on your travels,
Eric
30 people at once I am always amazed at people good at martial arts but 30 people at once? Wow. I presume your few weeks of practice will not get you to that level.
You may or may not be aware that there are bomb plots or violence of some sort predicted for India during the next week or so. I think mostly in the capital or in other large cities. It was in the news here a few days ago but I did not pay close attention.
Hope you are not too exhausted to write more about your training soon.
