India, Nepal, and Thailand


I'm finally getting around to updating this blog.
With everything that has happened in the last year, I'm really behind!
In January 2008, we took a three week trip to India and Nepal.
We stopped in Thailand on the home.
It was an whirlwind trip as you can imagine.

You know it - the Taj Mahal. It was crowded and I got
sick on the broken down train on the way back to the city.
Definitely not the highlight of India.

My friend Sung Ae, who helped me so much in Korea.
She's standing in front of the Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya.

We flew over the border to Nepal.
I love the fourth item listed.
I guess I can't go through the green channel at customs in Nepal.

Boudhanath, Nepal was so beautiful and welcoming
that I can't wait to go back.
