We made it! It was an amazing time with an amazing group. What a great way to see a country & really get a flavor of the people, culture & country. 10/5 - highly recommend.
I'd like to say we can go places & not have someone armed show up for one reason or another...but that would be a lie. Luckily we weren't in trouble this time, they just wanted pictures with the tuk & the crazy Americans driving it.
Visited Darjeeling today & now our balcony overlooks the Himalayas. This Rickshaw Run business is pretty amazing.

When you're midwest pale in India, you get treated like a celebrity & asked for selfies all the time. We're really not that cool, we promise.

Beach Day!
The highlight of the day was being pulled over in the middle of traffic by a local diplomat in Salem & asked if we would come to their tree planting ceremony to plant a tree for the grand opening of The Knowledge & Study Center

Cool Earth
Cool Earth says: "Cool Earth exists because right now, the world is in a climate crisis. The most effective way to fight back is to protect the best carbon-storing technology that already exists: rainforest. And the best way to do that? Back, support, and listen to the people living there. Indigenous peoples and local communities have lived in balance with rainforest for thousands of years and are the real rainforest experts. They are people who face extreme injustice whilst living on the front line of the climate crisis. We champion the relationship between people, rainforest and climate. Cool Earth exists to give cash direct to rainforest communities, to fund projects that create choice, tackle the root causes of deforestation and protect vital carbon sinks. This is our mission. To back people, to protect the rainforest and fight the climate crisis."
