TODAY I TOOK A HOT SHOWER AND USED A REAL TOILET WITH REAL TOILET PAPER!!!!!
Being in Chitwan National Park is pretty awesome, I’m not going to lie. There is a part of me that wants to say, “But Analis, after doing all the things you’ve done, and seeing all the things you’ve seen you know you don’t really need a hot shower, or a real toilet”, but there is … Continue reading
BILL COSBY & THE DOGS
Yesterday was insane. Right after breakfast, we piled into two sumos* completely unprepared for what would turn out to be the longest, and most interestingly painful road trip of our young lives.

HOLY CRAP—I’M ACTUALLY HERE!
