Great balls of Buddha! A traveblogue!

If you're here, you've heard that Olivia, Alex, Áine and I are going on a bearhunt an adventure. Maybe pilgrimage is a better word (more on that later). Setting out for home again, really. Like walking a labyrinth. As Leora said, a little bit like a ladybug coming to the edge of a leaf. Gonna catch a big one.

Okay, so we're spending a semester in India. Here's a rough overview, if you're into details:

We'll be in London for about a week first, then to Delhi for a short time, then to Bodh Gaya, where we'll be living for nine weeks in the guest house of a monastery, sitting still a lot, and moving around too. Making friends. The eight ball says we'll probably do clarity and crisis. If you asked our transcripts, they'd tell you we're studying Buddhist culture (Áine), Buddhist philosophy (Áine, Noa, Alex), and Hindi (Noa & Alex). They'd be right. Olivia what classes are you taking? After nine weeks in Bodh Gaya, we'll have three weeks to do an independent study project. I don't think any of us know what we'll be doing then, or where. Then back to Bodh Gaya to finish up the program. A bit more time in India for Áine, Alex and I, and on again to the Western hemisphere.

Unless you're at Wesleyan, you probably only know one or two of us at this point. We thought it might be fun to pool whatever updates we send out, so that's what this is for. Well then.

Into the caverns of tomorrow, with just our flashlights and our love, we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge.
