We arrived last night from Gaya India. The area we were traveling in, Bihar, is the poorest region in India. To say I visited India after this trip would be untrue, I visited Bihar. It would be like visiting Mississippi and talking knowledgeably about the United States. It was a stressful and valuable trip. There were a few times, actually more then a few, that I feared for my life! I am glad I went, I am glad I had the experiences that I had, and I am very glad to be home! Bangkok seems like Switzerland compared to the area we were in! I have many photographs and many stories but it will take awhile to decompress, order, filter, and share them. I just wanted to let you know that we are safe and back home! We traveled in the area from Kolkata in the West to Bodhagaya in the South, to Varanasi in the East, to Lumbini Nepal in the North. I think my web site will be called Searching for Buddha in Bihar. I might change it later, but that is today's idea. FYI If you asked me today I would say I did not find Buddha yet!
More Later!
