Varanasi photos

Quick story to go along with (and explain a few of) these pictures. I had a flight from Delhi to Chennai last Monday morning at 6:45. I woke up at 6:05am, so I went back to sleep. As a punishment to myself and to avoid paying for a last minute plane ticket, I decided to make the 30-hour train ride from Delhi (northern India) to Chennai (southern India). Fortunately, I got a ticket leaving the same day and only had to miss one day at work. The last few photos are in Andhra Pradesh on the train ride back.
