Dear Mom, I am having fun in India.  Last night I was at the Ganges River.  The Ganges is the holiest river in India.  Hindus even think of it as a goddess, or at least part of one.  Did you know that Hindus are actually monotheistic.  However, they believe that their god takes thousands of forms.  Well anyway, I got to witness a religious ceremony.  There was fire!  They use it, among other things, to honor their gods.  Did you know that Hindus are not obligated to go to temple.  Jeeze, I wish I could do that.  I would be able to sleep in on Saturday mornings!  I hope your doing good Mom, I having a great time. -Plaz

Dear Mom, I am having fun in India. Last night I was at the Ganges River. The Ganges is the holiest river in India. Hindus even think of it as a goddess, or at least part of one. Did you know that Hindus are actually monotheistic. However, they believe that their god takes thousands of forms. Well anyway, I got to witness a religious ceremony. There was fire! They use it, among other things, to honor their gods. Did you know that Hindus are not obligated to go to temple. Jeeze, I wish I could do that. I would be able to sleep in on Saturday mornings! I hope your doing good Mom, I having a great time. -Plaz

Dear Justin, how are you? I am having lots of fun in India! However, it is not very good for my asthma. The air is very dirty and filled with smog. You can't see it in this photo, but I can hardly breath! Don't you think the colors are just amazing! I loved the way it came out. I used a special HDR setting on my camera to produce this image. This is the city of Pune. It is only the 7th largest city in India, but still has around 4.5 million people! That would still count as really big in the USA. Notice the old buses and motorcycle rickshaws. Also note that the women are wearing these beautifully colored clothes. Also notice that the people go on for miles. The streets are just packed! Love you, Plaz
