A few days ago we got to Varanasi. It looked like a movie set with all of the funeral pyres burning at night, the smoke and temple tops.
It was cool.
Mama and Papa checked out Nepal new. There apparently is a lot of unrest so it's a good thing we checked.
One day we took a boat out on the river and it was very peaceful. We put little candles in the river. Mama put a candle in for Grandpa. It was cool to watch the candles float down the river.
Varanasi is a very holy place for Hindus.
Because the River Ganga is here, many Hindus come here to die so their ashes can be put in the river. Then they can end the cycle of rebirth and experience moksha (ask my mom).
This picture was taken in Sarnath.
