Saturday, July 27
It was 200 miles of the most horrible highway--a rough road full of giant potholes,
huge trucks (here they say "lorries") going in both directions. Many lorries were parked on the side of the highway. they may not drive in cities in the daytime.
Motorcycles were weaving in and out of the narrow traffic lanes.
There were people on bicycles and pilgrims walking along the side of the road.
Many children were walking to school.
It was too stressful to watch so we entertained ourselves by reading, braiding hair and playing charades.
We boarded the bus in Varanasi at 5:00 in the morning to get out of town before the traffic got insane.

They have been walking for days without shoes.
