While talking to a well-traveled friend today, she said "travelers say that you haven't really traveled until you've been to India or China." Well, even though I don't agree with the statement, I do know what the intention behind it is: Get ready for adventure.

A few other people have weighed-in on our upcoming trip (we leave on the 3rd! this Thursday!). While my dad was here over the weekend he read us from Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. All I remember is "each breath was like a tiny victory." Another friend-of-a-friend: "Why are a white girl and her white husband going to India in MAY?"

Because we got married and when people get married they go somewhere hot, and so we picked the hottest place on the planet. 42-45 degrees Celsius, or for all you Yanks, 107-113 Fahrenheit. Well actually, I have this wee obsession with mountains, and so Mark is taking me to see one of the greatest mountain ranges on earth. The food, adventure, and eye-openers will top it off, to make it soooooooo much better than your standard tropical vacation. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

So check in for updates. We'll try to get to a computer whenever we can, but no promises. Off we go!

Yes, that headline does read: "Storm-Tossed Coast"

As some of you have heard, the north-east got a big snow storm last night. Here in Syracuse it has continued into today. As I write it is still snowing.

Here are some pictures of what we woke up to today. First, the street in front of our house.
This is the "snow-tunnel" sidewalk by our place.
And a pretty tree across the street.
Finally, there's Jen at our front window. She decided to stay in where it was dry and warm while I ventured out into the snow.

If you have any pictures of the wedding, we'd LOVE to have them.

Could you please email them to markg.jennifera@gmail.com; and if possible, could you send us the original files, not a compressed version (those don't do so well for printing).

Thanks!

We had a wonderful photographer for our wedding from Vancouver (Ariel, who is one of Jen's friends). We have lots and lots of pictures to pic from, but here is a small sampling for those who actually check this blog.











And finally, cheers to you all for visiting our site.
