Canadian Thanksgiving just passed and we had the opportunity to head up to Ottawa for some family time. Not only did we get to see the Ottawa arm of my family – but my parents and brother also flew in from Calgary. While it hadn’t been that long since we’d seen them out west, it…
We escaped the chaos of Chennai and had an extremely comfortable bus ride to Bangalore. The area of the city we were staying was leaps and bounds nicer than the hood of our Chennai digs. We should have felt more comfortable and relaxed. The city took on a festive air as there was the National…
