We are medical professionals, amateur cheap-food connesiours, Ron thinks he can herd sheep, and Ann-Marie attracts charging wild beasts.
Currently, we are on a multi-month trip to India, Southeast Asia (as seen from a bicycle!), and China. We hope to see billions of people we've never seen before.
AND ANOTHER THING... Linda, an accomplished traveler, cyclist, postcard maker, and toast lover, who in between all of her many activities also does amazing social services work, will be meeting me (A-M) to cycle in southeast asia in March and April. Check out her blog at www.lindaridesagain.com.
