Thanks to JP and Nadine We cannot say how helpful JP and his family have been every step of our Journey. They have cared for us and helped us feel safe and comfortable during difficult times.
Nadine I knew that water Bufalo was the one in your blog as soon as I saw it. I said hello for you.
Richard
Thanks Richard, Thank you so much for the pictures of Anita in their store and my beloved water buffalo. I know you two enjoyed standing on the balcony in the Varanasi home place and watching India go by. That is my favorite spot in all of India. I am very homesick for India and hope I can go back next winter. All is well here. Tai Chi continues daily in the Plaza.
Love,
Nadine
Relics visit and teary eyes! I have tears in my eyes reading this event and experiencing same as you did Richard from 12000 miles away. The relics visit and description is tremendous....Jitendra ( JP)...
Frustations of India are gems...such as on your arrival in BodhGaya. Keep the faith, India has a way to captivate you. No wonder Annya did well dealing with that stress.
Sarnath Ruins/Enlightenment Gazing at the first picture ( not the one with Suttas) of Sarnath ruins is sheer enlightenment . Standing at the site and looking at the ruins is awesome. I was there in January 2006 and could feel the presence of harmony and peace ! Nice blog Richard and Annya. it is hard work to do the blog right. Annya's pics are great!
Jeannie and I are wowed! We are looking at your site on 2-6-09. (Friday) at Acorn. How cool that Annya was dancing with the other dancers! Sue will try to download and print. Too bad about your camera, Richard - If you can iron out particulars I can send you one. - let us know. So fun to enjoy your adventures vicariously w/ none of hassles.
love ya both, Jeannie and Sue
Monkey and other photos Hi Richard,
Your photos are great. I hope you will be able to get another camera so you can continue to send photos with your blog. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I am following along on your journey vicariously. Love, Jackie
Everybody wants money here Hi Richard,
I had to laugh when I read that one. Not much different there than here in that quest. I enjoy reading your blog and I am looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Take care and stay safe. Love, Jackie
Lotus Flower Temple The temple is very beautiful!! It looks peaceful. Did you see the inside of the temple?
I'm enjoying seeing India through your eyes.
Love, Lori
Beard You shaved your beard? When did that happen?
Anyway, sounds like great fun and excitement there in India. It's nice to have some picture accompanying this post, it really brings the experience to life. I'm looking forward to further posts.
Love,

Monkey Business I've heard that monkeys are getting aggressive. they might be the ones who start the anarchy revolution. that monkey on the window looks huge!
Better world when men are inspired by the woman they love to build beauty than when they repress women and make war.
With Love,

Thanks for the tour Thank you for the detailed and descriptive tour. It's like I'm there.
I love hearing about it.
I'm leading the Tai Chi group today, as May is painting Nadine's roof. What a difference it's making! I can hardly believe it, it's so different, so much more spacious and light. Amazing transformation.
Can't wait to hear about the Taj Mahal and your camera. WOW! That's something about your camera. Love to you guys.
Very descriptive Thank you for your generous telling. I love the monkeys. I can feel the tears for the poverty. I imagine describing the smells impossible. What of the colors? Has Annya found any gorgeous silks yet?
Love,
Hannah
Tai Chi How was your Tai Chi session in the park. We'll be doing it right along with you! Try holding your breath in the poor air quality. Just kidding! Enjoy!
Blessing for your Journey Dear Richard and Annya,
My prayers are with you for an expansive, loving, kind, peaceful, healthful, learning journey. And may all your pathways lead to the light of consciousness (even if the trains don't).
Love,
Hannah
