Saturday, December 23, 2006. Itinerancy - december 23, 2006. Two posts in two days. my relationship with this blog is becoming orgiastic. However, it's been a very action-packed day, filled with preferences, planning and patience. With the extraordinary effort and cleverness of Guman Singh, of Capital City Travels and Tours at the Hotel Ajanta, i've organized my itinerary for the next couple of weeks and it goes something like this:. The Golden Triangle Road Trip:. December 24: Delhi to Agra. My first tr...

And wow wow wow does Bonnie Cappuccinno maintain a breathtaking and exhausting pace. We spent 3 fully days at the home in Gandhinagar, a strange, fully planned city laid out in 30 sectors. Sector 21 is where we were taken shopping on the first day. all of us bought material to have clothes made. we'll be attending a wedding in Kaliyampoondi (near Chenn...Made as w...

the gypsy life: July 2006
http://sugarbear64.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 30, 2006. Celebration of light: vancouver, july 29, 2006. It was gray today. I didn't expect dallas to awake with me at 9am, since he'd got in around 4am. but he did and after some sleepy bumbling about, we walked to delaney's. The discussion continued over a late breakfast at theresa's, a plain but popular denman street. Eatery, with comforting western food cooked and served by charming asian staff. (i'm stupified by the proliferation of sushi joints in the west end, btw.). From the 21st fl...

the gypsy life: last days - december 19, 2006
http://sugarbear64.blogspot.com/2006/12/last-days-december-19-2006_18.html
Monday, December 18, 2006. Last days - december 19, 2006. It's sometimes comforting, being in character. I'm riding out my last day nepal as best i can. Who was willing to pull me all the way back to Boudha (about 1/2 hour ride). some of it was so steep that i got out and helped him push-pull the device up the hills. eventually, we were stopped by the maoists, well short of my destination. he'd offerred to take me all the way for 200 rupees. i gave him 500 (about $8). his name is Kaji. Thinking about you...

Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Post script: perth - august 30, 2006. I have a heartening message from my travelling guru in vancouver, rod. On the verge of his own departure for asia on september 16), and a perfectly glorious meal with extraordinary people tonight at the Subiaco Hotel. Server Stephen from vancouver! To thank for this last, fumbling effusion from australia, none of which will surprise anyone. I'm sated with food and good humour and the acceptance of my blessings and my shocking insanity.

Monday, January 22, 2007. Streaks, tips and highlights - january 23, 2007. Indeed. and when would that be? On january 11, (a) the day after my friends were to leave the ashram (the thought of being there alone was terrifying) and (b) the day Amma was scheduled to return to the ashram for 10 days before commencing her south india tour, a tour that would end the day my indian visa expires and i would be required to leave the country. In order to experience her darshan. Bizarre. bizarre. bizarre. I was also...

the gypsy life: waterlemon joice, or the day a leaf insect flew into my startled hand, regained its composure and tasted my olive oil - february 9, 2007
http://sugarbear64.blogspot.com/2007/02/waterlemon-joice-or-day-leaf-insect.html
Thursday, February 08, 2007. Waterlemon joice, or the day a leaf insect flew into my startled hand, regained its composure and tasted my olive oil - february 9, 2007. An impression of india (not the greatest or the first or the last, but one of them): so many dogs with testicles. Reminded me today, my butt is perfect, so what am i talking about? The scene: "rush hour" in the village of kuillapalayam as i return a la bicyclette. Wash rinse. repeat. Bhavana chose simplicity. she lives in a small, domed...

Sunday, December 31, 2006. Colva beach, south goa - december 31, 2006. Perhaps because it felt like my "new year" began when i left canada on july 31, exactly 5 months ago, i arrived in the beach party capital of india this afternoon with little more than a slight gust of exhaustion. But the sun setting beyond the arabian sea. And the few fishing boats floating just offshore was spectacular. Colva beach is in south goa. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! Posted by allan at 6:03 AM.
