Can I fit all the rest of it into one?

It won’t do justice to the last several weeks of my trip, but…let’s be realistic.  We both want this kept succinct. Here are some highlights from things:

Our parents took Erik and I on a trip to…somewhere. It’s on the border of the states of Bihar and West Bengal, but I never got the name. It was just a night, as sort of a gift to us. They’re so nice.

I smell mischief. 

There were so many geckos. I guess you could say it was a Gecko city really. 

The remains of a temple, 1400 years old. It just sits here; no guards, no fence, no sign, no preservation whatsoever. But that's the thing about India, this kind of stuff is everywhere. You don't need to preserve it.

I went to another Bengali wedding. Not much to talk about with these, other than the decorations. Believe or not…I just don’t get into that all that much. 

Don't worry. We know this bride....so well. 

Isn't that nice? Do you think my real parents get jealous of things like this?

I spent $5 on a spa treatment:

I went to Bodh Gaya, the Buddhism capital of the world. They have the original tree under which Buddha achieved enlightenment 2600 years ago.

This is the one

There are statues and things

And mountains that look just like the Lord of the Rings

I said good-bye to the girls at Loreto. That was…a bit difficult.

And now I’m leaving for Puri, and I relaxing couple days hanging out on the Indian Ocean. After that, it’s a just a few days of trying to fit in everything I missed, and I’ll be on the plane heading home. That’ll be weird…
