i left berlin and cried at the airport. then i went to india and cried some more. and last night i got to brasil and cried one last time.

and by crying i mean so much has happened and so many things are utterly overwhelming in both good and bad ways. life is mad! let me begin to process through dumping some photos of india on ya'all.

Photobucket

half of the young champions group. there we are at the stage of the global maternal health conference we were in india for. so inspiring/overwhelming. everyone in this picture is from a different country - the group is so diverse, it's wonderful! from left to right, US, brazil, argentina, nigeria, kenya, ethiopia, canada, oman, iran. word.

so many rickshaw trips.

oh julianne - such vibrance captured in your photos. that one of you in the rickshaw could be in an anthropologie catalog - fabulous as always, my dear.

Your photos are a beautiful reminder of my time in India. It is such a colorful place.

I know you'll love Brasil - it is amazing and the people are WONDERFUL.

The pictures are so cool-Good choices. Met a couple of parents at Chapman with a freshman student and they are from Brazil just outside of San Palo. He is a principal at a high school there and if you were ever his way he would love to meet you. A beautiful family , young and handsome. They were both born in Brazil. I will sen you his name and address and e-mail.
Love you lots

I've enjoyed the documentation of your travels and can't wait to see more from Brazil! These are fascinating!

I cried a little out of jealousy...seriously. So much more exotic than moving. I expect lots of pix in Brazil too...maybe even some with you so we can make sure you haven't been kidnapped...and/or replaced by an evil double.

It happened in Alias as you recall...several times.
