water buffalos in their element

last week, ben, ethan and i went on an adventure. it was in the heat of the afternoon but we had water bottles. still, lots of sweat.

we went into what we deemed "the badlands." it was filled with crunchy little shrubs and grass and even a sign that said NO TRESPASSING. we thought of a genius plan where we would continue on and just pretend like we couldn't speak or read english, giving us an excuse to ignore that sign. then we came upon this tiny little pond where there were about ten water buffalo! their shepherd dude was bathing them. he wearing a little diaper looking garment and was giving each water buffalo its turn of scrubbing them with his hands and the cool water. we watched them for a good twenty minutes, filled with beauty and peace. isn't it strange that an image like that can make us feel whole?





more to come my dear ones--i went to mumbai this past weekend!

love to you wherever you are,
lauren

p.s. another story from last week: my room got invested with mosquitoes at nighttime and when i woke up, i had about fifteen bites on my face. it was a very attractive look for me. sadly, i will not post a picture for you
