I am here!

Few! I am here!
In India, that is.
I just got to my little guest house, and an internet place, cheap restaurant, and money exchange are all right across from where I am staying. So convenient.
I was feeling really quite crazy before leaving today. I got to the airport and as I was waiting in line to check in I met a really nice young lady, like myself, who has lived here for 3 years now. Marie. Meeting Marie eased a lot of my anxiety and made me feel much better about coming to Varanasi.
The flight was only 45 minutes...just as long as the cab ride to get to this part of the city. I feel so tired now. She showed me to this cute, clean, affordable guest house - and I had to look no further. It is simple. Nothing extravagant.
It is nice to be somewhere and have to orient myself. I am really starting to like this feeling. I really have the traveling bug.
I also love not knowing where I will go tomorrow, what I will see and explore, but I know that I will see something great. I don't know what. I just trust it. I know it may sound a lil nuts...but I will.
Well, it is getting dark, and I have to get some grub.
I will be sure to update tomorrow and tell all about my adventure in my first full day in India.
