VARANASI: PHOTO BONUS: PART DEUX

If you couldn't tell, we really liked Varanasi. Here are a few more of our favorites.
Because where else can you have a monkey with a gun, a tranced out
sadhu, and a bunch of kids all in the same photo?
A view of the main ghat from a nearby hotel balcony.
Yes. Another sadhu. These guys are awesome.
Our hilarious boatman who conned us into riding with him for two days.
Although the below video doesn't even begin to show the goings-on in an Indian street at 8 AM on a Tuesday, it might give a brief idea.  This auto rickshaw driver was incredibly proud of his new sound system, and cranked it up to get us excited for the journey to the train station.


For more poorly filmed and extremely low quality, boring Varanasi videos (are you excited yet?), check out the YouTube links here, here, and here.

  2. Amazing! I am living vicariously through your blog. Even if I didn't have 3 little kids and could travel - I would not have the guts to do what you are doing! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
