Naughty in Guate

In after a day ish of travel from a red-ey to taxi to taxi to bus to tuk-tuk to chacos to tuk tuk to flip-flops to tuk-tuk to chacos to tuk-tuk to home, flip-flops an ice-cold shower and an over-priced but delicious meal.

Kate fell asleep before 6pm.  I'm up and straining to stay conscious at 730 (after popping a benydryl twice its normal (US) dosage - oops.

We're sick.

We're tired.

We're really really happy.

I'm not sure if we'll be starting up the podcast again for our month long hiatus from the states, but it seemed worthwhile to write for a bit.

Now, as the dreams come flooding in, threatening my reality with nocturnal hallucinations and grotesque, swollen tonsil snoring...

I'll have to get back to you tomorrow. 

Wedding!

Annapurna

Nepal: Beautiful, Majestic, Narrow-bandwidth

We are loving Nepal, and even recorded a thought or two between bouts of trekking and diarrhea (effortless). We have, however, found no internet capable of uploading a fart in HD, so the podcasts are backing up. We hit the trail for 12 days (Annapurna) before heading home and won't have internet access until we're in the airport. But with 5 full days of travel and layovers (bush flight to Pokhara; Pokhera to Kathmandu; Kathmandu to Mumbai; Mumbai to Bahrain; Bahrain to London; London to Boston) we should find ample time to post to our hearts' content in early May.

We wish you all a happy Palm Sunday, Easter, and especially everyone crafty enough to scam their way into a Good Friday religious holiday.

Best Wishes,

Jon and Kate

Sivananda

Dear Blessed Guests,

Please do not put dishes in these sinks as people spit in them and it is not hygienic.

Om shanti.

(Sign over community sink at the Sivananda (pronounced shiv-i-nan-da) yoga ashram in Kerela, India)

Kate and I spent a few days here, and it was great - and summer camp. There wasn't a lot of time for sleeping and or writing, so my sporadic notes from our monastic time were not exactly podcast worthy (and if you've heard my podcasts, that's saying something). I posted the scribblings on Satire and Ice if you're curious.

Thanks for listening!

(I'd forgotten the name of the Ashram when I recorded. It is Amritapuri. If you want to read more about Amma and her international charities, checkout: http://www.amritapuri.org/.)

Kate and I have moved on to the Sivananda yoga ashram in Kerela. We'll have no phones, internets or other space-aged technology, so you're in for another black hole of podcasting. A thousand apologies. But do check out those ted talks. Good stuff. Good stuff...

Thanks for listening.

Love,

Jon and Kate

No Wifi

Our ashram experience may be acutely lacking in internetability, so we may be out of touch for a week or two.

If you're board, check out ted.com/talks for the media experience of your choice.

Love,

Jon and Kate
