Hanging out in GoaMy sister and I have this friendly little rivalry. I continue to be amazed at the number of places she’s been and people she knows around the world, while she’s astounded at my published output. I’m pleased to announce my sister’s debut as a blogger with her new site, The Adventures of Mom, in which she recollects and recounts her travels around the world. Check it out!

And just to jog her memory to write a cool story, here we are on the beach at Goa. From left to right, from 1999: Sal, Debs, Paul, me, and Lenny sharing the magic teapot. Today, Lenny’s in an ashram, Debs still keeps traveling, and we hear from Paul now and again. Were it not for Lenny and Paul, we’d never have discovered this lovely beach where we spent nine days … and they were the nine most relaxing, carefree days of my life.
