It is easier to cover our feet with sandals than to cover the earth with carpets... ~ Indian Proverb Namaste people! So it’s 2015 and we are celebrating the New Year by getting on a big plane (well, two big planes and one small plane) and flying to India.

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing.

I love this quote which seems to describe the India of my imagination--where we adapt/change rather than asking the world to do it for us.
