Search Terms Say The Darndest Things

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

this is the fourteenth India entry from two years ago. Tuesday, December 14th, 2004 Well, just a bit of an update while before I get a boat to Paradise Beach. I took a grueling 26 hour bus trip from Ernakulum to Mangalore to Gokarna last night without any sleep and a very wasted constitution. I [...]
