introducing chas and ana

Admittedly, i've been pretty bad about keeping up with posting lately. Fortunately, i've had two Australian roommates, Chas and Ana, who do a much better job writing on their blog. Since our lives have been wrapped up in each other for the past month or two, i figured I'd cheat a bit and just post links to one of their recent posts in which I'm prominently featured.

here's a picture of the entire Fisher family. they've taken such great care of me on two trips up to Kodaikanal (Chas' parents run the Kodai Int'l School) -- providing a very comfortable place to chill out, organizing hikes, watering me with gin and tonic and homemade wine, and stuffing me full of so much meat and potatoes (and sweets, like eclairs) that i always return to madurai with a stomach ache -- that I might as well immortalize them with a portrait (top row: Geoff, Leigh; middle: Chas, Ana, Elle; bottom: Daisy the Retriever).
