Our first post in Banaras!

The streets of Banaras are full of strange and wonderful animals... sometimes cows attack you with their horns! It's pretty scary. Monkeys are friendly but are quick to defend their territory and babies. Horses also roam the streets as well as donkeys. Pigs are often seen rooting through trash, cow dung, and mud. Goats like to eat ANYTHING including the paper signs pasted to concrete walls (I will try to get a picture of this!). There are lots of little birds and I have seen some chickens around, too.

This is a little shrine in the base of a tree (I'm not sure what kind) near our program house.

Corn and potatoes have been a big hit in India. And tomatoes.

Eating some sewage.


Best friends!


We went on a tour of northern Banaras and took some photos of temples near the Ganges.
