My trusty crew who were incredibly nice and knowledgeable.
I think this is a rubber tree, it is magnificent regardless.
Caught the sunrise over Marina Beach while on a run. It looks empty but the promenade was packed with early morning exercisers.

  2. I’m so happy you had this experience of redeveloping familiarity and comfort in India. It sounds deeply meaningul and a huge milestone. Thank you for sharing your story on this blog with all of us. It’s great to hear your voice. And as a birder, thanks for the heads up on the Global Big Day – I think you and I have the same app!

  3. Glad you got out sailing, wonderful photos. This is really big – seems like you may have found her. And, just the information seems to have made a big difference. It’s inspiring, and I can only imagine how exhausting this must be. Well done being clear about your boundaries and helping us communicate with you. Hope to see you when you’re back.
