Now that that is done....

What have I been up to?
Everything and Nothing.  I arrived on the 20th lost track of time, thought Friday was Saturday and became hopelessly lost.  But you can never be lost, you can only be misplaced. Several times I have become lost and rather then panic I just continue to become more and more misplaced.  I have been in Banaras for 2 days so far and it is entirely different the Delhi.  It is more India, more loud, more dirty, more chaotic, more jumbled, more confusing, and more better.  Actually my balcony overlooks the small garden of a temple-- my drying clothes pay homage to Lord Shiva all day! 
Being in India is like being forced to look at millions of pictures being flashed before your eyes at high speed, at speed speed or coke speed.  There is so much to see and only two eyes with which to see everything.
I have found a house, an awesome flat that over looks a little garden.  My friend Max and I will be sharing not a room but two rooms out of four of a central courtyard.  It has a squat toilet ( a toilet that is way better then its America counterpart) there is a shared kitchen, a lovely common area, it is quiet clean (a maid and a bathroom cleaner comes every week to tidy up) and is in the middle of EVERYTHING.  I wish you could see it.  I wish you all could see this place.
I don't even know how to describe this, when I download my pictures you will begin to see.
