Reached Delhi late last night after eight hours aboard the Vande Bharat Express from Varanasi. Allie and I spent three days exploring the city following our rendezvous aboard the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Thursday evening. Poor thing was in the throes of intense gut distress but she braved the trip and gradually bounced back over the course of the weekend.
Since my last post consisted primarily of text, today I'm going to serve up a bunch of photos. Varanasi is a photogenic place, and we caught it at a particularly photogenic moment in time. Enjoy.
