Recently it dawned on me- Rachel and I have but few short days before we embark for the distant lands of the Far East. For those of you concerned i thought you might appreciate a tentative schedule of events.
- April 22- We move out of our apartment and head for California to spend time with our lovely family.
- April 30- We fly from Reno to Dallas, to spend time with our other lovely family.
- May 8- We fly back from San Antonio after attending a Wedding of one of Rachel's close friends.
- May 14- After one last week with our family we fly from San Francisco to Singapore to see more family abroad
- June 4- We fly from Singapore to Bangalore to visit with more family on the southern coast of India
- June 12- We board a sleeper train for the 36 hour long ride to New Delhi.
- August 20- After a fantastic summer in paradise, we fly back to San Francisco and the cold embrace of Mother USA once more.
This is a very rough schedule of events, so if you happen to reside in any of these general areas and would like to see us, please let us know! More schedule related updates to come. In other news Rachel and I have been grinding away at the millstone. The time between the last post and now has been fraught with little more than the hum-drum beat of our lovely day to day lives. In preparation for India we have purchased a new lens for our camera. Both of us are quite excited and hope to use the camera to post many fantastic pictures on this very web-log. Speaking of pictures, Rachel and I attended the Festival of Color at the local Hare Krishna temple. It is a fantastic festival in which is celebrated the defeat of a devil by Krishna himself. After an effigy of the devil is burned, to represent his defeat, everyone in the crowd throws bags of colorful chalk to represent the beautiful colors of a new dawning day. There were upwards of 2000 people hurling chalk at each other- it was a blast! Enjoy the photos- Love, Rachel and Derek
