cliche it may seem, but my spirit longs for india. i know i am going back there.
i have gazillion of photos from the place but i feel for now, i will let me have my own time with them.
not before.. before, i share what i learned from the place that i wanted to so much talk about
but feel i am at loss for words in truly describing its magnanimous impact in me.

in reality, india changes you.
it changes you in a hundred and one ways.
it makes you see the plight of people who are so intelligent and so gifted yet have little power over their future.
i want to go there back again.
not because i can change people's lives, but because i want to re-live how it is to marvel at something too precious a camera cant capture.
and yes, to shake off the cynicism-bug the first world has given me.

travel does open our hearts and minds... it's the best way to learn. i wish i can afford a lifetime of travel especially with the kids. it will be gift for them!
and of course, i wish someday we can travel together... maybe to celebrate our 40th?
Therese..my dearest..It does,T..it ties in everything we learned in theory about the world and its history..it gives meaning why we need to learn the history of the countries and the meaning of cultures..its like seeing it in action..
I have no doubt that your family will be travelling...you and Mark are that kind of parents...who will do their best to give the best to their children..puwede magpa adopt?hehe.
I wish for that too,T...yes, lets celebrate our 40th together..(kalayo sad sa April to September oi)..but there should be no rules right?but wait..sa jollibee man ko mag 40th..sa cebu,haha..adto ta na;-)
