Dear Philippe-Francois

My love, I arrived yesterday in India, in Sarnath located 10 kilometers northeast of Varanasi. It has been a long journey to come here, but it makes me happy to be in the city where Buddha gave his first sermon and the Buddhism was born. Everything here looks bright and shiny, no wonder why I knew it as a holy land. I'm pretty sure that I will learn a lot here and will understand the deepest secrets of this religion.

I will spend the rest of the day in bed, I'm exhausted for the trip and I need to have the highest energies for tomorrow as I will be taught some lectures about the Buddha. I really can't wait for it!. Furthermore, I will also be out having a sightseeing of the city and all Buddha's temples.

I haven't eaten since the morning, so I better go down and have dinner. I'm starving!. The lady told me that for today we will have as entrée soup and as second plate I could choose between some dishes that I can't recall the names right now, however sounded delicious. I hope they aren't too spicy. I have had heartburn these days, so I think it will be bad idea to my stomach getting spicy food.

So I'm ready to go down!, I will write you tomorrow with all the news and my discoveries. Thanks for reading my adventures and reply to my letters. I love you so much!

Sincerely,
