Thanks for all the great comments.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re still alive, but have been too busy (read “lazy”) to update the blog.\u00c2\u00a0 We have a boatload of awesome pictures, which we still haven’t been able to finish uploading.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll make them available when the Mayaguez like internet speeds allow.<\/p>\n
We’re still in Delhi.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve had a great time with Dheeraj and family.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re spoiling us with home-made North Indian food every day.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Tomorrow we expect to finally\u00c2\u00a0get some exercise besides\u00c2\u00a0running to catch rickshaws, walking through bazaars, and getting out of the way of cows.<\/p>\n
Tonight we take a train to Varanasi, one of the holiest places for Hindus.\u00c2\u00a0 It is where they\u00c2\u00a0go to submerge themselves in the Ganghes.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve opted for the local sleeper car instead of the touristy and pricier options.\u00c2\u00a0 $6 each person, for a 12 hour overnight train (uncomfortable bed included).\u00c2\u00a0 Tourist option is about $20 pp, and only has sheets, and slightly more padding on the mattress.\u00c2\u00a0 Bah!\u00c2\u00a0 Travel cheaper; travel for longer.\u00c2\u00a0 Bring on the sleeping bags!<\/p>\n
