SO as if last night wasn't enough...this morning we were at the front desk by 5 a.m. as we were told to do so by our guide Vimal (best guide so far). We showed up and he looked concerned...we were supposed to take a boat ride on the ganges to watch the morning worship as the sun was rising...but b/c of monsoon...no boats are allowed...to make matters worse...there was a monsoon outside. The part of me that has all the sense told me to go back to the room...go back to bed...we don't care anymore...but the other side took over...I put on a rain jacket...and away we went to trek thru the poop (people, cow, pig, monkey, etc) in our flip flops to see the ganges ritual and then on to the next ghat to see the creamations. I had my back pack (which is now ruined) and again, I got completely drenched from head to toe...somehow...my dear sister didnt get so wet...mainly b/c she got the unbrella and I had to wear the rain jacket...it turns out an unbrella is a better bet. The creamation place was creepy and we did inhale some ashes of burned dead bodies...we went back to the hotel and basically laughed until we peed at the hell like adventure we were on. Our poor guide...he just wants us to like it here so bad...I appreciate and respect it here...but this is not fun...however...one glorious thing has happened...I am no longer feeling burnt out on being a lawyer...bring on a job...
more later, lis
