August

Our only trip out so far has been to Agra. Not to minimize it because it was amazing. But we've been a little slow in venturing out beyond Gurgaon and Delhi. Tomorrow, we're going to Kerala for a long weekend. Many thanks to Nipin and Anna for their encouragement! Everyone we have talked to has said it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. We will post some photos when we get back.

At the end of the month we're headed to Australia for a week. In some ways, it makes no sense to leave India at all. There's more interesting traveling to do here than can be accomplished in 10 years. But, in other ways, it makes even more sense that we need to get out of here for awhile. Ask, and we'll explain.

In any case, this is a great month for us. With everything going on at work, we can't take any more significant trips until we head back to Chicago for the holidays. So this is it and we're going to make the most of it.
