Double Exposure

I love this picture. It's not a great one; Vivian often doesn't like how she shows in photographs, and you can't even see how the violet in her beautifuly shimmering skirt matches my shirt. And I look way too serious and formal for someone not wearing a jacket. The reason why I love this picture is because Yarrow looks happy. She also looks like she's plotting something.

We will take a part of everyone with us and try to bring back a little India to share with everyone. In a few days or hours we will be back and tell you about Yarrows shots two at a time, and how the cops showed up at my house last night. Them packin' blues! Until then, we enter this next part of our journey open, warming our faces in adventures flames...
