Sharing hospital joy and misery

The hospital kept me a day longer than I anticipated/previously suggested, but I am now free.

I'm out, feeling good, enjoying Varanasi. I arrived Thursday afternoon and went in to the hospital Thursday night and left of Sunday. That was supposed to be my entire trip here. I obviously changed my flight and am now leaving Thursday.

Varanasi is a city that takes a highlighter to the concept of life and death, putting each on display in a very in-your-face kind of way.

Tomorrow is Diwali, India's Hanukkah...I say that only because it's a festival of lights. I believe that is where the similarities end.

To be continued...
