Along the Ganges

If I were to start writing about things that I miss about my life back in the States, this weekend is as good as over, so I will leave that for some other time. What bugs me most is that if I forget or get too busy to make that extra effort to do things that were effortless and so a part of everyday life back in Chicago, I somehow miss the whole story. Case in point: NPR's current series on life along the Ganges that I almost missed.
