India Calling

I’ve been neglecting this little blog since for way too long— I’m sorry! February is my favourite month and I was all set to write about some fun holiday-and-birthday-themed crafts and baking projects for birthdays, but life got in the way as is wont to happen, and I had to leave for New Delhi, which is where I am now. Watch this space for posts about my trip so far and check out some links about Indian culture below.

Last year I:

Came back from a perfect trip to Dubai, Delhi, Bombay, and Kurukshetra Sunset over Burj al-Arab from Burj Khalifa

Temple in Kurukshetra where the Pandavas prayed before battle

Saw more snow than Georgia could handle— we didn’t get mail for a week! Went to New Orleans

Then California Then as many Braves games as I could (and one in June in San Francisco, too!) Said goodbye to Athens  Ate an inordinate amount of popsicles and stalked food trucks like nobody’s business Then went back to California and went hiking in Muir Woods Fell in love with my favourite city, Charleston, over and over again  Attended Atlanta’s first flash mob picnic

Streaked my hair purple

Assisted in the opening of an absolutely wonderful independent bookstore

Went DIY crazy from Diwali to Christmas— which is another blog post in and of itself. Happy New Year! What were your favourite parts of 2011?
