A real holiday
Great meeting the two of you at that ex-pat nexus Open Hand Cafe in Delhi. We had some good laughs which made my working holiday a lot more fun for a few days. Travel well out there. I'll keep an eye on your blog to see what fun you find over the next hill. I know we'll meet up again somewhere. 'Til then... - Aaron, Long Island
