Bride Groom Leave Church Wedding Goa India

A Catholic Wedding in India

Indian weddings are famous. Thousands of guests, days of parties, elaborate costumes…frankly, American weddings look a little lame in comparison. So obviously my husband booked a ticket to India when we were invited to his friend’s wedding in Goa. Turns out Goa is a Catholic, Portuguese section of India. Our friend Mariza’s wedding was held […]

Feeding Monkeys in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Why I am Married because Cambodia has Cute Monkeys

Cambodia is unique for a lot of reasons, but the monkeys that occupy both the large cities and the rural temples sure do make you realize how diverse our world is.  In New York we have squirrels.  In Boston, squirrels.  In London…squirrels.  Instead of something lame like that, Cambodia has MONKEYS!  I’m not sure who […]

Seaplane Over the Maldives

Today started with an announcement that we were anchored off of the coast of Male, Maldives.

It was absolutely freezing and the […]

Taj Mahal from Our Window

Well, this was an annoying day up until our arrival in Agra, so I wont dwell too much on all of the negatives that finally gave way to our romantic vacation within a vacation. Up at 6:15, tender boat around 7:25 (Indian standard time guaranteed its late departure, like everything in India), couldn’t find the […]

Mumbai, India in a Day

Mumbai, India!! I have always wanted to go to India. Most of that has only to do with my name, and btw there are a lot of streets/shops named Chandra or some variation, but also because of the craziness of the culture and the delicious food. I think I’ve seen a fair amount of photos […]

Tokyo, New York, Boston

I was really excited to get off of the plane in Tokyo because my legs were absolutely killing me.  It really wasn’t that long of a flight, but I was actually scared they were hurting so badly.  I didn’t have my boarding pass for my flight back to NY, so I asked a Al Nippon […]
