A day of contrasts

Today we were taken to an American style cafe by a fellow guest at the guesthouse.  It was a challenging walk there where we were exposed to life on the streets - the poverty is difficult to witness.

We then had the opportunity to see a temple for the Hindu goddess kali and right beside that was Mother Teresa's home for the dying which was a very profoundly moving experience even though we only were able to spend a few moments inside.

We visited a busy market after this and then got lunch at McDonald's as we knew it would be safe to eat.




It has been a day of contrasts.  We are so grateful to have this opportunity to see the world from a different vantage point.
