Tripniks
When we decided to accept clerkships in different time zones we also decided to take an extended vacation when they were over. Only, we couldn't agree on a destination - I wanted to go to India, and Aaron wanted to see Turkey. Though there are other reasons, I could love Aaron for this alone: he figured out we could go to both and for that matter 18 other countries. Genius.
This blog follows that trip, and is called Tripnic in reflection of our Californian preference for eating outside whenever possible.
