One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. the hour before and after sunset at Uttarayan this year in Ahmedabad, India - so many kites and lanterns, as far as you can see
2. going on two hour-plus walks, bookending a nearly-skinnydip in the Pacific Ocean at sunrise after waking up at 4:30am to hear the Dawn Chorus with two friends (New Zealand)
