Category: December 22, 2004Agra - Toilet or World Heritage Site?The smog choked my lungs.

Although...Read this update Posted by Rob H on December 22, 2004 04:00 AM
Category: December 18, 20041200 year old wellAfter driving down a peaceful well paved one lane road through the fields dotted with colorfully dressed women grooming the crops, we came to the village.

Category: December 16, 2004Jaipur - GrrrrrSo, I left the snarling and snapping dogs behind and walked the half mile in the blistering heat to the state museum.

Category: December 14, 2004Blog catch upI finally feel better today so I'm going to try to do a nice synopsis of what's transpired over the past week. The day I got sick I spent with a realtor in Panaji. Or shall I say, the realtor's...Read this update Posted by Rob H on December 14, 2004 06:54 AM
Category: The Lost PostThis is the post I couldn't get the computer to accept the night I came down sick. He seemed like a nice enough sort of chap. We discussed the market and its size and quality as we walked up. It...Read this update Posted by Rob H on December 14, 2004 06:03 AM
Category: December 11, 2004Fever and ChillsI've actually got a whole new post on disk ready to publish, but this airport computer won't allow my access to the cpu. Go figure.

Category: December 09, 2004Damn ColdI blame Rahul! It may not be his fault, but I'll blame him anyway. He was all sniffling and sneezing when we met and I told him if he had cold to stay away since you're always susceptible right after...Read this update Posted by Rob H on December 9, 2004 10:28 AM

Category: December 07, 2004Luvin' GoaI think I left off with the little girl and her rice and similac. That was only two days ago and already I'm kind of blurry on it. I think there are too many new sights and sounds around me...Read this update Posted by Rob H on December 7, 2004 06:28 AM
Category: December 05, 2004Goa BoundThanks to my Nepalese acquaintance, I am on my way to Goa today. Woohoo! I found the coolest 300 year old restored hotel where I'll be staying.

Category: December 04, 2004Reading PersonalitiesIts sunday in the steaming city. I still love Mumbai. I've met so many really cool people and I'm loving my hotel. Did I mention that?
