It’s hard to believe we made it to India for a month (!!!!!!), and have been living in Katse village for 10 weeks already. It has been a truly amazing trip and we have ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/devis-to-do-list.html It is our first weekend back in Katse. Things at the clinic are going well. We are so proud of the nurses. They did an excellent job while we were gone, and it feels so great to see how their confidence and knowledge have grown. There ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/3-shades-and-the-two-princes.html OK, so this will be short. I have been permanently tarnished. Some butterscotch eaten, fleece wearing, football loving dumbass baggage handler stole my camera in Joberg. For the entire time in Indian, for every second of every day, we were on guard. We worked hard to not be the victim, ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/slightly-irritated-so-the-words-are-harsh.html Yes, Its been awhile since I posted, and in all honesty I have forgotten most of what we have done, so bare with me if my entry seems a little cluttered. We are in Jodpur for the next two days until we fly to Mumbai for the trip back to ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/the-roof-is-sideways-to-the-camels-hump.html Hello!!!!

The beach in India have ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/a-tear-in-the-sea-for-you-and-me.html Good evening!!!! Life can be absolutely magnificent sometimes, can't it? We are Varkala. Originally, we were upset by what we had come to: a tourist-packed area. however, as it is not high season yet, it really is not that busy.

Headed from Benaulim (Margao) Goa to Kochi, Kerala. 16 hours I believe. The train was a little sketchy at first. We bought out ticket but ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/SamandDevi/konkan-rail.html So my turn. India. Let me think where to start the story. The bus ride form Mumbai to Goa, was quite possibly one of the greatest adventures I have ever had.
