so long kate shaw, travel partner extraordinaire!

just wanted to give a shout out to my buddy kate, who leaves india for scotland tomorrow. she has traveling for 2 years (this is a dangerous influence on me, mom and dad:) - she originally thought she would go for 6 months!

anyway, kate and i had the wonderfullest of times traveling in india from the ashram until about a week ago, including crashing meditation classes and accidentally snoring in them, skipping lecture at the ashram to go to the lake and listen to music and swim, yoga practices on the roof in mysore, and countless encounters with friendly and interesting indians.

thinking of you kate - see you in the western hemisphere, hopefully in 2006!
