Killin' time

Hello. We're hanging out, waiting to head to the train station for another overnight train - this time to Khajuraho (yes, the one with the sexy statues).

Sarnath, where Buddha is believed to have delivered his first sermon - to five followers - where the stupa is set in the background.

Newlyweds. Note the scarf she's trailing him with. Saw one couple where the bride stopped to do something with her mother and the groom kept going. They jerked him back.
