Bodgaya,our last stop in India

Sandra and Gina were gone, from Varanasi for their 3 last days in Jaipur. Me and Dennis, we looked for a place to go before Nepal...

Somebody on the street told me something nice about Bodgaya, the most important Bhudist place in the world, the place where Bhuda had enlightment, meditating under a Bodhi Tree.

We were supposed to go there to see many temples, and bhudists praying... and we did.. but in the end, the most important thing was to meet Rohit and Naresh, on the street. Two 17´s and 18´s boys, very nice and lovely boys.


They are dedicated to create a school for the orfan children of their small village.




Naresh and Rohit, they took us to visit a small cave, somewhere in the midle of a small mountain in Bodgaya... We walked for hours under a veryyyy burning sun. The landscape was beautiful. Fields of rice, and awsome bodhi trees..



















Naresh convinced me to try and meditate... in the very beginning i felt ridiculous..afterwards i felt good...

They already have a space for this school for the orfans




In Rohit´s room






Thank you for everything boys! I won´t forget you!

Estão espectaculares as fotos. Apesar dos contratempos que falaste vocês estão sempre com uma cara de felicidade. Deve ter sido uma experiência única e maravilhosa, conhecer uma cultura tão diferente da nossa. beijinhos Ana Baracinha
