Another Day in Varanasi

We've done a lot in the past few days, including visiting the Catholic missionary health clinic down the road and Banares Hindu University (BHU). We're about to leave for another trip to BHU to meet the director of the University and talk about a panel discussion we will participate in on Saturday afternoon with some of the graduate students. A few pictures for your viewing enjoyment...
