| When we think about the past, we think of
memories... |
In our minds eye we look back and remember.
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes... the languages,
the customs, the friends we met along the way... the places
we slept!
Five years of travelling the world, five years of adventure.
We thought you might enjoy a flashback as much as we have.
Enjoy! |

a divine place to have started our adventure from. |
Floating Lanters |
 I
remember Loy krathong
and the thrill of releasing paper lanterns into the night
sky along with thousands of celebrating Thais.
|
Elephants in Chiang Mai
|
 I
remember elephants
in Chiang Mai. What I find most amazing about watching an elephant
paint (we watched a young one learning) was that they are INTENTIONAL
about what they are doing. |
Shunyam Nirav |
 I
remember our dear friend Nirav. An eternal thank you and namaste
to you Nirav!

Enjoy.

The Giant's Causeway,
Northern Ireland |

Ireland is a uniquely beautiful part of the world. |
