Back in the U.S. of A.

Right, so I am back in NYC for over a week now and my body is still in semi-revolt. Well, my stomach anyway. It's making it a bit hard to get back to my normal life and enjoy the summer. I suppose that's the Maharaja's revenge for ya. Let's hear it for yogurt and Gatorade for breakfast lunch and dinner!

That said, Sarah and I went up to the Berkshires this weekend, which was fun and pretty relaxing. I got a little bit of a tan too. I definitely need to get off my ass about getting a place in the country. I started looking at cars more seriously. I'm thinking about getting something cheap and reliable and good on gas. Though those three attributes don't lways necessarily coalesce into one, perfectly priced package.

Funny, up in the Berkshires it seems like every fourth car is a Subaru Outback. We made a game of spotting them. Two extra points if it was Forest Green. Outback!

I meant to add a couple photos from my last days in India. Or at least get a picture of Geeti in here, who was such a nice host to me in Delhi. We ran around a bit to the Delhi Haat market and dinner at her place with her dad and brother. At the market i bought some nice hand-painted parchment which I'll frame and hang up in my apartment. Photo to come...

Early this weekend I got together with Brian Newman, who will be marrying Beth Kades later this summer. I spelled out both of their names just now because Beth told me when she Googles herself she gets an old post from when the three of us went on vacation together last summer in Vail. Well, now here's a new link for ya, Beth!

Anyway, we had a little bit of a wedding party and bachelor party combo. I was only there for the first night, but it was a great time. I really enjoyed meeting Brian's friends from around the U.S. He has surrounded himself with wonderful people and I'm honored to be one of his friends and one of his groomsmen.

More pictures here.

Hi! I'm so happy I stumbled across your blog. I spent some time travelling and studying in India several years ago, and visited all of the same places about which you wrote and posted pictures. It was a nice trip down memory lane.
