Today we went to Pashupati and we saw someone's wife get burnt. It wasn't private like it is in Australia. We saw people take her eyes out.
We saw lots of monkeys.
We also watched a man being burnt. All the men in his family had to shave their heads. So we guessed it was someone's father and brother. It took five hours for the body to burn. Then they collected one bone and wrapped it in white cloth and then put it in the river. Then the men put white cloth on themselves hoping their father and brother would go to heaven.

Well Cody, I am interested in hearing if you think the boys father went to heaven. You are certainly learning about different religions and cultures first hand and I do not think that being in a classroom could ever have taught you and Taiga what you are learning there!
