Here Goes Nothing!

Those are my general feelings after being told numerous times how inexplicably crowded and dirty India is, and how we will inevitably spend the majority of our visit suffering the effects of severe food poisoning from one bodily orifice or the other.

That said, Natalie and I are still somehow quite enthusiastic about leaving. Having been home from Africa for 3 weeks, I'm ready to get back into a simpler, dustier, warmer culture again. Also, spending a mere 24 hours on Air France planes to get to the other side of the world feels like a small price to pay after nearly 40 hours trying to return from Kenya.

We fly into Chennai, where we meet up with my dear Aussie/Finnish friend Matilda, and hope to travel on to Salem, Bangalore, Goa, Pune, Hyderabad, and Pondicherry within the month.

We have at least one contact and a potential volunteer opportunity in each city.

More from the other side of the world!
