Love the picture of you at Murud, and of the laal jaam.

Ammmmmazing stuff.. Sounds like the risky stuff I used to want to do and only now trying to break off my routines to even possibly imagine doing. Unfortunately, I went to stay in Mumbai and work and ended up working mostly. (based in No Va here).

Just checked in on you blog after a long absence and was absolutely delighted to find out you’re in India for a whole year! I’m definitely moving you to the top of my blog reading list. I was in Pune for a few years back in the early 90s and always loved the monsoon season. Now it makes me want to go back and visit some of that coastline I missed.
BTW, you helped me with a jam I got into making the Clover Leaf Socks a while back. I did eventually finish them and really love them.
Thanks for all the great photos. Yes, more food pics would be greatly appreciated!

Mazhalai, which of these places have you been to? It’s amazing that these places are within a day’s drive of Pune. (I am in Pune right now).

Spud, I really felt bad about missing that CO -Estes Park trip, but alas, it couldn’t be. I am determined to restart the knitting kick next year with it.

NSG and A, how about we have a meet-up there next time?

Sepoy, can you believe I didn’t take a single picture of food? Lots of chai and vaDaa pao, mostly. But I promise, one roadside food post in the near future justforyou.

Great photos and thanks for taking us along.

Now, my gripe is that you are not showing all the yummy roadtrip food that you musta ate! Show. And Tell.

I’m glad you included a “swinging over streams on banyan ropes” picture–amazing! As are the others.

How cool that you’re getting (or taking?) the chance to travel a bit during this year. I’m quite jealous (though I’m heading to CO on Thursday for a little visit there… it’d've been fun if we could actually have coordinated something like that before you left). Have fun!
