Well, we didn't make it out to the ghats after all. Due to some sort of allergic reaction to the flea-bag hotel in Agra, my leg was too swollen to walk around on (70+ bites). I'm fine now, but we've both come down with colds and have decided not the leave our hotel in Varanasi. Considering the hotel Gideon chose, things could definitely be worse. Further, we've come to the conclusion that the Ganges isn't going anywhere and we'd much rather be healthy than anything else.
(Gid: Actually, the hotel I've selected is amazing. Sort of colonial, very comfortable, a good place to get healthy for the next leg of the trip. Well done, Me.)
Tomorrow we're flying to Pune and the following day we're heading to Ahmednagar.
i'm allergic to fleas too! of course, i've never had them that bad... get better soon!
