TRAVELS w/P: Tales of Adventure Here & There

Wed oct 20. Dang this BB for recording notes. Twice now entries have been inadvertently deleted. Will save and return as I go along. Sitting now on train headed to varanassi. Our group has been scoped out by a young boy and his mother. Luggage is chained beneath seats. Anyhow, more quick notes about delhi: passed a leprosy compound,and a number of slums built from verigated tin, hemp bound wood limbs draped with plastic. Rounded a few corners and left behind the squalor. Gov't officials live well. Behind gates and greenery and wide, clean streets.Corruption has a strong hand here for a reason. Air is heavy with dust and putrid smells.
