Tammi's travels while Matt stays home to study


Downloading pics is such a pain in the ass! Please forgive me for not downloading some latest pics but I will when I can find some band-width that can handle it! I promise soon!

Ok so for the latest news, I am traveling in South India with my friend Megan from Northampton. Search for Oh Sweet Mama's to check out her blog. We are currently in Goa and both of us had a bad bout of Delhi Belly! Mine lasted one night and Megsy is still battling the demons of India!!!

I am currently enrolled in the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga School with a great teacher! Megan hasn't left our little beach hut much but I have great hopes for her full recovery soon! I spend my days lying on the beach and taking in the dreadlocks entertainment that takes place spontaneously every night before sunset on the beach. Quite a sight!!!

Swimming in the Arabian Sea is quite delightful I must say! Its like bathwater, but refreshing! Every day about every 5 minutes while sitting on the beach you are approached by an Indian women who speak perfect english. They are touting their wares and are desperate for your business. They complain that its slow this year. Due to the attacks in Mumbai, and Goa's proximity to it, many cancelled their trips. Tough times!

We are planning some visits to Ashrams in Kerala and Tamil Nadu and I"ll try to keep you updated as much as I can!

Dolma the DOG!

This is Dolma. You can't take her for a walk in India without a big stick to chase the other dogs away. This dog lacks "street cred". We had the oppotunity to dog sit for 10 days and those 10 days were busy with playing ball, and befriending a small white dog named Pema who wants to be Dolma's boyfriend, but she is too young and too tall. Anyway our time as parents came to an end and we are relaxing back at home. I miss her only a little:)
