Met up with Kirsten in Cairo and we spent an amazing but brief holiday in between there and Aswan. I do feel that we were able to see a lot in such a short period of time. High lights were Cairo itself and everything around Luxor.... read more

Before settling back into Bangalore, I went on a quick trip to Delhi, Agra (Taj Mahal), and Rajasthan. I found it to be very interesting, and a bit more colorful than southern India ... but also a lot 'rougher.'

My friend Kirsten came to travel with me over the holidays. We went straight to the party-beach town of Goa. Goa has a large population of Christians, so Christmas is really celebrated here. The entire town was decked out in lights and Christmas decorations. It almost felt like christmas there (no snow of course!)... read more

Biking to work I am having a great time biking to and from work. It takes about 25 minutes, and its a lovely ride through fields and villages. Its great to get away from the crazy traffic on the main roads and a nice way to start my work day. Most days I pass through a flock of sheep!... read more
