Where are we now?


View Where are we now? in a larger map Jo, Annie, Miles and I are living in Northport, Alabama and working at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. We've been glad to be in one place for a bit after what appeared to be semi-permanently traveling (in actuality for a period of 2.5 years).We started this blog to catalogue some of the adventures when Jo and I were sequentially conducting our dissertation research in India and Brazil. While we've fallen off the blogging bandwagon somewhat during recent trips to Brazil, we're trying to pick it up again now that we're back in India!

That's all folks....for now!

Well the most recent family visit has been an amazing six weeks. It's hard to believe it wasn't that long ago that I was planning the various itineraries, thinking about how I wanted to "present" India, how I wanted my various family members to experience it for the first time.

Speaking from my perspective, the Delaware/Nevada Meek's trip was an overwhelming success. Sure, everyone got a little sick. Some more than others. But no one got hurt, everyone got exposed to a very different set of cultures and environments than they'd ever experienced.

It was really with quite a mixed bag of emotions that I saw Jon off last night.



We have had what I would describe as an adventure of a lifetime, if we hadn't already had similarly amazing adventures in Alaska, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador, and knowing this pair will have numerous more of varied sorts as time goes on. So perhaps I should say we had another adventure of a lifetime. Yes, that works much better.

But, like every great adventure, it was time to close the book on this one...at least this chapter of it. After all, with two great mustaches like these, what more could one ask for?


What more could one ask for? A wonderfully relaxing apartment, the most incredible wife (and soon-to-be mother) that a husband could be so lucky to come home to, and all sorts of do-it-yourself dad-to-be crafts (more on that soon!).
