Still playing catch up...I'm a disgrace.

I do realize that I am not doing justice to my time here in the current format, but I refuse to go back and type up all these adventures without first trying to see if anyone has them saved! Here's a shot from Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh, where Buddha is said to have given his first sermon. This image is found inside the temple there.

















Believe my luck? A cow resting inside a shop in Varanasi.












































Though you're not supposed to take pics of the cremations occuring on the banks of the Ganga here I decided that this was just another rule to be dispensed with as one wishes. I definitely do not intend to offend anyone in doing so, but feel that this is educational and worthy of being witnessed.
















In Darjeeling, the Tibetan Book of the Dead is kept up here in one of these buildings.
