Happy in Hampi
I spent an action-packed 32 hours this past weekend exploring Hampi, a town about 500 km from Bangalore, with a group of ThoughtWorkers. My favorite part of the trip was a ride on a coracle-- a gigantic basket waterproofed on the outside. We wound our way down the river and stopped to hike along some rocks. The scenery of Hampi, mind you, is amazing: think southwestern desert meets east coast mountains.
East coast mountains? The landscape is dotted with foothills, many of which are actually just gigantic mounds of boulders. It reminded me of Hebron Falls, a quick hike near my university in North Carolina. I was totally in my element as we rock-hopped along the river, winding our way to a vantage point a hundred feet or so above the water.
In a way the hike reminded me of how great my undergraduate experience was while simultaneously making me even more excited to be here. So far TWU has been great: the people are ridiculously friendly, the environment is wonderful, and I've learned so much already. I can't wait to begin development (and experience some intense pair programming!) on our project next week..

Dude blog is looking awesome. Nice job with the scarves. Pair programming is really fun if you have not done it yet. I remember pair programming with a teammate of mine and learned so much. Keep having a great time on your trip, ill keep reading too.
