A Real Parent's Story
The 4am wake-up was brutal but the sunrise made us cry
“My 6-year-old was grumpy until the sun hit the stupas. 'It looks like heaven, daddy.'”
Read full story
Dragging a 6-year-old out of bed at 3:30am is not fun. She whined on the car ride. Then the sun crested the volcano and hit the central stupa. She said 'It looks like heaven.' We sat for 30 minutes watching the mist burn off. She still draws 'the sunrise temple.'
— Markus, dad of 1 from Vienna
