January 29, 2017: Our planned land-based excursions today were to the impressive ruins of Nalanda University and the pretty Pawapuri Jain temple. The main road was blocked by an accident, so we detoured through an interesting village.
The morning started out very foggy and gray.
A bunch of kids greeted us enthusiastically on the ghat (river bank).
In the village and throughout this part of India, the stalls had great amounts
of beautiful cauliflowers, a staple of Indian cuisine.

Impressive brickwork at Nalanda; more photos will come later.
