Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jig

Hi Friends!

First we owe you an apology - we fell off the blog wagon for our last month of adventures. Call it travel fatigue, call it technology frustration, mostly we're just sorry we left you hanging.

We are back in the good ole US of A! It's great to be back, despite the fact that our travel hours logged since our return seem to have increased instead of decreased, and we are still living off the same set of tired summer clothes out of a bag.

At some point I would love to sit down and pen our last few weeks of wanderings. For now, I'll just pass on the link to some great Rajasthan pictures. My parents joined us for 10 days of a circuit tour of the hottest desert region of India. By our side they experienced the beauty of many forts and palaces, the aggravation of many touts bothering them to give money/buy silk/come to their shop, and the shock of a vacation for the most part devoid of meat and alcohol. We visited waterless lakes, saw the Taj Mahal, went on a tiger safari, and developed a new language with our buddy and faithful driver, Vinood. You can check out my dad's pro pictures here:

We're so excited to be back on the same soil as all our pals :)
