What a Difference Six Months can Make

Today I went skating for the first time this season and it was lovely.  I went with my friend Kim and I realized that almost exactly six months to the day we will be going from this -

the wild streets of Bangladesh,

and monsoon rains.


Although, in actual fact, we will be staying at the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) which looks like this -


I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

  5. It will be so exciting. I have been to India 3 times while my sister lived there. In the beginning it was all too much and now I miss it.
