Ramnagar and the "Delux" Bus

This last weekend we had the chance to go to Ramnagar to visit the Jim Corbet national tiger preserve. We spent a grueling 8 hours overnight ride on a "delux" bus that turned out to be a stinky sweat hole that was overcrowded and not airconditioned. It made for a great night, rachel and i got approxamatly no sleep. Afterwards we hired a taxi and went on a trek through the jungle to an old temple. Then we went to the tiger reserve and saw some awesome tigers. Afterwards we got dinner and then caught the night train back to Delhi. All in all it was one killer weekend. Also Ben and Naman went with us, it was a party all day. Good times with good people!

Derek and Rachel:

To answer the question you left on our blog, Angie is due sometime in the middle of July. It sounds like this experience is turning out to be everything you thought it would be. I'd like to formally request to see more of the everyday type things - like your lodgings, cuisine, or where Rachel's working. Please spare us Derek's "nose-hair trimming" even though it technically counts as an "every day type thing." Best wishes! The Briggs

Hey guys, it's Kristin Brown. I just checked your blog for the first time--it looks like you are having an amazing time! I love all the pictures. Keep up the posts and have Rachel tell more about her work. I'm getting set to leave for Uganda and Kenya in July. I'm pretty excited to go. Take care. Be safe. Don't get sick.
