The Broad Abroad
- Kali
- This blog started as a way to keep in touch with family while I lived and worked in Jodhpur, India. Since then I've been in France, Germany, Belgium, back to Alabama, back to France...and now in Alabama again. So, it's a little bit travel, a little bit cross-cultural, a little random and maybe politically incorrect. As of August 2009 it will focus more on international everything in Birmingham. Next up is a sojourn to ARGENTINA in December 2009.

America's Next Top Model. Indian girls are just gorgeous.
Seriously! I've noticed that all of the children have the most beautiful skin I've ever seen. They are just gorgeous. It should be a testimony for sunscreen though.
