Bhodgaya

It was my second trip to Bhodgaya. The first time I was there it was the dry season, some horrible hot time of year, maybe May or August, can't really remember. But i absolutely hated it. This time, I liked it a lot more. Better weather and there was also a big festival of Tibetan Buddhism going on at the temple. Ended up spending three full days here. Nice place.
