Varanasi, again

Now this is a great city. The touts can be agressive, but nowhere near as bad as they are in Khajuraho. I was here for about three days. Had a blast. I love just walking the streets, hanging out on the ghats, especially in the evening, when they have their religious services. Very moving.
