Wow, I can breathe...and it feels odd. This thought has run through my head about 72 times in the last few days. Why? Because up until about 48 hours ago, I experienced the fastest, most hectic, craziest, rewarding, tiring, depressing, exciting, maddening and fun six weeks of my life. Long story short, things have been just a bit busy since the New Year.
A whole lot of work, including the great experience of the World Future Energy Summit in mid-January, along with a few whirlwind amazing days in the southern coastal Indian state of Kerala, has made for a memorable January and February. (For a
full slideshow of the adventures in Kerala CLICK HERE).
Staying true to my M.O. of more pictures and less words, I'll let the images (of the fun stuff) take it from here:

Coming from Juneau, AK I'm pretty snobby when it comes to beautiful places on Earth -- but the Wayand might be the winner...
Not only was it unbelievably beautiful, the people of Kerala were friendly as can be
And the crowning jewel - the food. I'm convinced I'll never again experience meals so fresh, flavorful, vibrant. Hands down, the best food I've ever tasted. Period.
