but i'm not mad.
it is a little blurry cause that is how i see in the morning.India is awesome.. and the Ganga is holy. many religious people come on pilgrimages to bathe in the Ganga to have their sins washed away.
and they carry water from the Ganga back to their villages.
Did i mention that they walk? often times they travel for weeks on these religious crusades.
I just walk down from my tent and bathe in the Ganga when i feel like it.
Awesome!

Allow myself to introduce myself, This is Barrie Joe.
Rams and I sometimes, maybe between awesome rafting trips, adventure into the local cities.
Here's Rams walking by the store where they sell cow.
Look how huge i am compared to some humans.. what a beefcake!?
Not really. India just has a lot of cows. and buffalos. and oxen. Sometimes they belong to village families. But sometimes, as best as we can figure, some cows just wander the streets aimlessly.
This guy was eating a card board box when we saw him.
its crazy these cows just look at us like whatcha lookin at cracka!! this is my HOME!!
Here's the boats and my man, Raju. He's cool. He likes Indian food, and so do I.
The luxurious accommodation we call home is this kick butt old army wall tent. 10x10. That's right, 100 square feet.
LUXURY!
One time, on a town adventure, which I hated because of all the smells, we visited a holy place. There were a lot of pilgrimagesers collecting water from the holy Ganga and this statue of shiv, his cobra, his wife, and his horses. Here we are in front of it. The whole thing weirded me out pretty bad.
the cows and manure, the crazy beggars, the smells of vomit and food mixing in the air. Tooooo much "culture" for me to absorb in one day. I don't think I'll be back soon. or ever.

I decided that it is not wrong for Joe to not like the culture and experience, however I thought it was beautiful.. the culture, the colors, the wierdness, even the smells and insense, and ceremonial smoke.., shiv. awesome!
out of time.. until next time..
