15:00 Hours. Forest Trails, BNP, Karnataka, India.
After a breakfast that easily topped UTC, we got back in the van and traveled to Bannerghatta Biological Park. A zoo! Finally, something I could completely identify with. Well..., identify with. The basic setup appeared quite the same and it was certainly a popular attraction. With primarily Indian animals, the zoos population contained what Geeta told us were mostly wild caught animals.
Lions (Asiatic), tigers, chital, sambar, sloth and black bears all appeared to have decent, yet not great accomodations. We took a speedy bus through a safari route and saw many of the afore-mentioned animals in very natural habitat.
The route back was uneventful. Beautiful scenery to be sure, and conversation amongst us that is making most of us start to miss family, friends, pets, and the luxuries of home. But hey, we're about one-sixth of the way done and already have had so many unforgettable memories.
I must continue to return to asking myself why I'm here. Perhpas I'm become less and less sure. Or, perhaps I need not to ponder it in order to figure it out. I have seventy plus days left in Asia so I'm not too concerned quite yet...
During lunch, Geeta shared a number of life stories and stressed the importance of Indian ideals in her life. We are lounging around for much of the afternoon and plan on discussing our studies and guest lecturer who will visit this evening.
