We woke up today really early around 4:30 to be ready by 5 to go on the Holy Ganges river to see the sunrise. Not only was it beautiful but it was majestic in its own way. I really enjoy taking the boat rides and looking at how the whole town works together as one heartbeat. In America you really don't see this anymore and its sad people here are cooperating with each other to get tasks done. While i would probably still be asleep in America, Varanasi is bustling with people trying to get prepared for the days up coming activity's. We also got to see to cremation sites where people are burned and set free in the river thats why its considered so holy. I feel like its a privilege for me to witness these timeless traditions that probably have been around longer then America has been a country. I am really excited for what else India has in store for me in the weeks to come.
