Hey everybody. In Bodgaya now. This is the place where the Buddha attained enlightnement. Just about every Buddhist tradition has a temple'here.

Met a friend from McLeod Ganj. He worked in Green Hotel and was returningto his home here in Bodgaya just as I was checking out then. I'm so glad I got his phone number. We met for tea yesterday and he took me about thirty minutes out of town to his home. Really out in the country! The kids flocked up to his house to get a look at me. So peaceful, fresh and clean out there. Definitely a side of India I want to see more of.

Sorry. In a rush so I'm off for now. Just want you all to know I am safe and well....

Bodhi Tree
Tears fell from my eyes at the sight of the Bodhi Tree. What an experience that must have been. Almost surreal. And seeing the photo was almost as emotionally impactful as being there.
Love,
Mom

Oh, Chris what an incredible experience you must be having. Has it changed it you yet? I can't imagine that it will not alter you completely--the photos almost have the power to do that for us on this other side. Sending you love, Dee and Eric Silverstein

Bodhi Tree
Oh, Chris what an incredible experience. Has it altered you yet? I'm sure it has, deeply. We can feel it through the pictures all the way over here on the other side. Sending you love, Dee and Eric
