Three Hearts Pilgrimage – Day 2
Last night was a gorgeous night. The weather was so perfect that many people didn’t even set up their tents, they just slept under the stars. And there were no cows mooing all night! The morning wake up was similar. Chanting monks! This time though, we could barely move. How on earth will we be…
