India! WOOOOW!

We crossed the border from Nepal into India by bus, rickshaw, jeep, and then hopped on a train. We are so lucky to have met our new friends from Australia who were our saving grace, getting us into India safely and hassle free! We love you guys, thanks for everything!!!

So we are currently in Varanasi, one of India's oldest cities and a very sacred place for the Hindu religion. Varanasi is believed to be the place to come to die, because then your soul will be released and you will go to Heaven. Definitely look up Varanasi, you'll see what we're talking about!

Very interesting, mysterious place. Very different from Nepal. Cows roaming the streets, rickshaws : "beep, beep, jingle jingle, jingle" crowded streets, people everywhere. Delicious food! (Don't worry moms and dads - we're being cautious!)

We're heading tonight to Agra by train, and will be staring at the beautiful Taj Mahal this time tomorrow. We can't even imagine what's in store for us! Then we'll quickly make our way to Delhi tomorrow evening, also by train.

We'll post again soon! Miss yall!
