Thank God for the beauty of creation...

Yes... we're back from a land where life is unlike what most of us have ever seen. It almost seems like a different world! Ladakh and Himachal are blessed with natural beauty that is uncomparable to any other place in India - the vastness of the clear blue skies, gigantic mountains, fresh streams and waterfalls, snow, grassland, forest and wildlife - nature seems like a force so powerful and majestic, only less than the creator who has given it the life it has... and the littleness of man is so evident, the joke is, his dirty life is provoking and damaging a force, the strength of which, he has never fully understood.

Go there before the craziness of modern living reaches that land and you'll understand why I consider the experiences we've just had, amazingly special.

In the posts that will follow, I will try and tell you something about what our trip has made us see. I'm afraid though, that I will not be able to do any justice to it.

Off to live a dream...

We're off to Delhi tonight and our ride to the Himalayan states is scheduled to start on Sunday, the 3rd of August 2008. After months of preparation and waiting, we're finally taking off on this journey that will test our bikes and bodies. We hope to return with the most exciting stories, pictures and memories.

There are many special people to thank, and even if I've not been able to express my gratitude to you personally, I want to tell each of you how thankful I am, for all you've given me. Thanks for praying - please do continue to do so! and yes, we will keep safe - trust us on this.

We're not 2 but a team of 3 persons doing this ride - Our God Is On Our Side and in Him We Trust.

See you soon.
