Today I went to Saranth and it was a waste of time. My friend who gave me the hotel recommendation, told me that it wasn't worth going to but it sounded interesting. If nothing else, there was the opportunity to see the temples of various countries. Which I need to make a correction about, so there are 4 countries represented: Tibet, China, Japan, and Thailand.

The main area where the Buddha gave his sermon, is located in a park. There are also ruins from the first ever Buddhist temple and monastery. Apparently the Buddha liked to hang out on the main grounds and meditate. The park is nice, but a bit difficult to navigate. I walked around for a bit, but never found the "spot" where his sermon was delivered. In total, I spent about an hour walking around the park and visiting the various temples. Did I mention it got up to 113 today? What idiot decided to walk around for an hour in that kind of heat? That would be the idiot writing this blog. But rest assured, I'm not a total idiot. I had water with me and in the course of that hour I drank about 3 liters. It was cool to see the different temples, but in general my friend was right, waste of time. Oh well, you live and learn.

As if I didn't do enough dumb things today, while trying to edit photos, I accidentally deleted everything on my memory card. My record of the last two weeks will only consist of a few pictures of the Ganga, most likely taken from the roof of my hotel. I'm considering going to the Ganga Puja again, but I'm not sure how exciting it will be the second time, so I haven't decided.

Continuing to engage in adventures . . .
