		<title>Crocheting around the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During our trans-Pacific journey on the Cap Cleveland, I wanted to make sure I had plenty to entertain myself during the long, ocean-only days.

We landed in [...]]]></description>

		<title>So, how was India?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since we decided to go to India, I&#8217;ve developed all possible fears about visiting the place. Apparently I&#8217;m really really good at developing fears. I was mostly concerned about being in a situation where I was stuck in a confined place full of people with no air and no way out. Mostly in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yoga Part II: Adho Mucho Hardasana</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day 1 &#8211; Monday Weather: Gorgeous. Yoga: 1st class &#8211; very hard. Shaky legs, brain thinking &#8220;Really? I&#8217;m going to have to do this twice a day? What the heck? How can I drop out?&#8221; Pranayama (breathing) and the lecture were good. 2nd class &#8211; better for my mind but harder for my body. Couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weaving class Part II: weaving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first part of the class was to learn dyeing techniques at Ock Pop Tok and then came the serious stuff&#8230; weaving. This was my workstation: the loom.

		<title>Weaving class Part I: dyeing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Luang Prabang, I found a weaving class, which I&#8217;ve never seen anywhere else we&#8217;ve been. I just *had* to take it.
