Sublimity…

I’ve survived my 6 week adventure in the mountains, and am happy to say that yesterday I arrived safely back in Dehradun. It’s been quite a trip in so many ways, I’ve learned lots (mostly things I wasn’t expecting), had some wonderful times, but also had (more than) my share of frustration and challenges. I’ve written a few things (see older posts) and have half-written several others (hopefully coming soon), but there’s a lot of stuff that I think will end up uncatalogued this time around – sorry.

Future plans are up in the air, I’ll be here in Dehradun until at least June 15th working with PSI (maybe up until June 30th), but am hoping to go to Mussoorie for a cool workshop on June 18-25, and then maybe go explore the mountains (I’ve spent nearly 3.5 months in the mountains so far, but it’s all been in one small watershed – there’s a lot more to see!

Things get exciting here in July when the visitors start arriving – first Sam & Jamie on July 5th and shortly after our three week adventure is done, my parents and brother are coming. It’s going to be great to see some familiar faces again and get to share some of these wild experiences with people I really know…

After my parents go, I’ve got a month to explore South India (trip in the planning stages) and then I’m out of here, back home to Canada (on or before Sept. 30th when my visa expires). From there – who knows…

So back to catching up with the world, I’ve enjoyed Mayali and in many ways like it better than Dehradun, but after awhile the feelings of isolation get to me, and so it’s nice to be connected again.

Hi everyone!
