Emails from the Road

Email: Greetings from London

Now that we’ve been in London for a few days, I thought it would be fun to compare the subway systems of New York and London.

Email: My Experience at the British Museum

When we went on a walking tour in London, we saw some interesting things. We saw the Rosetta Stone and many cool old works of ancient times.

Email: Greetings from Sikkim, India

We are now in a small town in the state of Sikkim, India called Yuksom. It is the jumping off point for our six day trek in the Himalayas.

Email: Greetings from Rajasthan, India

With our trek in the Himalayas over, we made our way back to the airport. On the way to Delhi, we saw Kanchenjunga from afar (the third highest mountain in the world) as well as Everest from the plane window.

Email: Merry Christmas from the Red Centre

We are now in the dead center of the country – Alice Springs. It’s been in the 90’s and 100’s degrees F for the last week. And because of wet weather to the north, it’s a bit humid as well.

Email: Adventures in China – Xian

We are still in Xian. The other night, Sandy and I took a little walk through the city. If it wasn’t for the diesel fumes and the drum tower at the end of the block, you wouldn’t know you were in China.

China: Kunming and the Stone Forest

After leaving the relaxation of Dali, we visited Kunming, another large Chinese city. The major highlight of this visit was a day trip to the Stone Forest.
