ad-erica-ventures: Gokarna to Mysore, Karnataka
http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/10/gokarna-to-mysore-karnataka.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Gokarna to Mysore, Karnataka. After a nice restful stay in Hampi. I made my way to Gokarna. Literally means cow's ear, because the piece of land on which it sits resembles a cow's ear on a map. The town is about an hour and a half south of the infamous ex-Portuguese-colonized-beach-haven state of Goa. Gokarna. Is known primarily as a pilgrimage town for Hindus (and the occasional westerner). I took the deluxe luxury sleeper bus from Hampi. Down a hill, from which the town merely...

ad-erica-ventures: June 2009

Thursday, June 25, 2009. Solar Eclipse July 22nd- Shanghai. I am sure that most people have seen a solar eclipse during their lifetimes, but how many of you can say you saw one in China? I will be in China this July and I am determined to see the solar eclipse over central China, Nepal and northern India. Totally cool, huh? Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar eclipse of July 22, 2009. I am doing research on my adventure. It's all just starting and I cannot wait. About 100 km south of the Bonin Islands.

ad-erica-ventures: Going to Goa and Visiting the Peshwars in Pune
http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/11/going-to-goa-and-visiting-peshwars-in.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Going to Goa and Visiting the Peshwars in Pune. I know that as this trip ends, I am trying to savor everything. Take in the last breaths of my trip, smelling the curries and actually opening my eyes as wide as they go to see it all. This is perhaps the main reason for my delinquency in posting about India. I regret that I cannot do all of my experiences justice in writing. Posted by Erica Anne. November 23, 2009 at 9:56 AM. It was great to host you here in Pune :-).

ad-erica-ventures: Mysore onwards to the Fort!
http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/10/mysore-onwards-to-fort.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Mysore onwards to the Fort! Mysore is a particularly important city historically. It was one of the last quasi-recognized states to fall to the British Empire. As well as one of the last remaining states that was once dependent on Vijayanagar empire (literally means "victory place") or today known as Hampi. I've been reading up on my history along the way from "India: A History, 1999, John Keay. In the late 1800s. The food in Ooty. We did a couple of the touristy things around t...

http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/11/mahive-mumbai-my-love-mumbai.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Mahive Mumbai, My Love Mumbai! It was a good thing that I spotted him right away, maybe it was the other way around, it's really that important :). I am currently in Senigallia, Marche, Italia eating homemade tiramisu about to have a fresh espresso and make my way to Ancona for the day. I am very happy, cold, and recovering my Italian language skills very slowly. Ciao! Posted by Erica Anne. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mahive Mumbai, My Love Mumbai!

ad-erica-ventures: Finish Line: Minneapolis
http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/11/finish-line-minneapolis.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. My last and final post on this travel blog. Somehow this trip turned into an around the world venture without meaning to do so. I didn't book most of it in advance, and stumbled my way around until I reached the Midwest again. I had the warmest welcome home ever, my dad picked me up at the Megabus. Comes from fellow travelers, not guidebooks. I hope that everyone enjoyed sharing a small piece of my experience along the way. Please let me know if you any questions, want to m...

ad-erica-ventures: August 2009
http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. Taipei x 5 times as many scooters rickshaws more construction more people = Hanoi. Hanoi boasts a wonderful night market with tons of wares, goodies and foods that could even tempt the most frugal or picky person. I spent a great deal of time taking pictures and talking to locals. There are a bunch of wonderful Pho places that charge almost nothing for a bowl of soup with cilantro, lime and chili. Yummy! Hostel and Booking Tours? Remnants of a Different Era.

http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com/2009/11/fleeting-fort-onwards-to-sunny-varkala.html
Monday, November 2, 2009. Fleeting the Fort Onwards to Sunny Varkala. I am not entirely sure how time has flown by so fast! I only have one more week in India and then onwards for a brief layover in Italy to regain my language skills, Chicago and then home. I must say since this is nearly the end, I am looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone that I've missed. Side for pure convenience. The boat jetty is just down the road and convenient enough for us to make our way to Cochin proper. The Swede...
