(69) In Search of the Gol Gumbaz

Posted on September 22, 2023September 21, 2023

The temples and terrain of Hampi were very different than anything we had experienced up to this point. We might have even stayed longer if we could have moved into a room. The pantry was okay the first two nights, but with no rooms becoming available anytime soon, it was best we move on. We…

(68) Hampi

Posted on September 15, 2023September 14, 2023

The Ramayana The Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic composed in Sanskrit by the sage Valmiki sometime in the 5th century BCE. While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty. It’s a beautiful story and well worth the read! Having read the Hindu epic Ramayana, we…

Purple, Wavy Clouds!

Posted on September 10, 2023September 10, 2023

Things have been a little whack-a-doodle these last couple of weeks. I haven’t been in a place physically or mentally to write anything of substance. One of the reasons is that Donna has had some medical problems that we needed to pay close attention to. She told me she was seeing a thick line of…

(67) Raid on Om Beach

Posted on August 25, 2023August 12, 2023

Life was good. We had moved into “Om House” in the jungle and were quite friendly with our landlords. Although we seldom saw her husband, Sukuru, Showme would come over and smoke a beedie with Donna. They talked and laughed as they told each other stories of the day. And there were always plenty of…

(66) “Om House”

Posted on August 18, 2023August 13, 2023

Stephan informed us he and Rene were soon to be moving out of the little jungle hut behind the beach. It would be a significant upgrade for us to move out of the “Love Shack.” They invited us to see the hut and meet the family. To get to the hut, we walked around the…

(65) Om Beach!

Posted on August 11, 2023August 11, 2023

We made it back to the guesthouse and had a thali, smoked some chillums, and played some music. Eventually we were tired enough to try and sleep through the noise of the kitchen next to us. It was difficult but we managed. The following morning, we decided that it was time to take the journey…

(64) Gokarna, Music, & Shiva

Posted on August 4, 2023August 4, 2023

Back on a bus after magic and fun with the busking children, we looked out the window. We passed more jungles, farms, small temples, and cows, and caught a view of the sea in the distance. I struck up a conversation with another traveler who knew Gokarna and the availability of rooms. She said that…

(63) Planes, Tuk-Tuks, and Busses

Posted on July 28, 2023July 25, 2023

The aircraft was not small, but it certainly wasn’t a 747. It was large enough to shuttle a reasonable number of people from Israel to Cairo on their way to India. This included Christian tourists who had visited the Holy Land and were now going to the pyramids. Also on the plane were ex-soldiers just…

(62) New Year ’94, Leaving Israel

Posted on July 22, 2023July 22, 2023

We had awakened after our evening with the Magician’s son, said our goodbyes, and made our way to Tel Aviv to visit and stay with our friend, Daniel Ben Tal. Daniel, a journalist, was once featured in a LIFE magazine article about the “7-day war.” Having met him through Rainbow, he was a pivotal contributor…
