Darjeeling

"It is better to travel well than to arrive" -Buddah

That may be true, and traveling well is always a good goal, but I feel as though we've arrived. Stanley here. This town is beautiful. It loses none of its charm on the second day. Our accommodations are supurb, the food is cheep and delicious, and the clouds that wrap this mountain town seem to cast a hush over all of it's inhabitants so that you feel like whispering, even on the busy streets. In short, life is good and we'll be staying awhile.

It's about time you guys posted some pictures; how else are we to know that you aren't actually sitting downtown in your condo ignoring us?

It takes like 10 minutes to post pictures from these internet cafes so we've been forgoing it in favor of the power of the written word. And in Dubai, well, we just haven't taken that many. We'll have to start I suppose.

I miss you! Wow, I can only imagine how awesome the Taj was in life. You know football season is around the corner. How are you going to get seattle and tampa games???

We're going to have to figure out the answer to that question as soon as we get back to Dubai. I'm sure somebody has a Satellite, and, worst-case scenario, DVD-R. Maybe I'll have to pull an Emmo and take Mondays off...

Most Bucs games are at 9pm (10pm after the time change) Dubai time, so you should be fine as long as one of the streaming NFL providers works in Dubai... (Not like stupid Australia where games start at 3am on Mondays, 5am after the time change...)

The only issue will be in Week 7, when the Seattle-Tampa game is on at 4am Monday Dubai time... but a game like that is well worth a little sleep deprivation, right?
