Goodbye Mumbai

We're realizing that we gave ourselves way to short a time in India. Our stay here in Mumbai has also been to short. Right now we're in a rush to get everything done before our train leaves at 3:00 PM. We'll have a 29 hour ride (which beats our South Africa ride!) to Visakhapatnam on the east coast. There we'll be volunteering with Bhagavatula Charitable Trust, an organization that runs schools and other community development projects. We'll probably spend between 10 days and 2 weeks there and then try to make it to Agra and Dharamsala before our flight out of Delhi on the 28th.

We just came from Mani Bhavan, Gandhi''s house and office in Bombay from 1917-1934. They've made it into a wonderful little museum and library/research center. We probably could have spent the whole day there, browsing through books and talking to the two local older gentleman that come to read the newspaper there.

Last night, after catching up on sleep in our hotel, getting our train tickets and hanging out for a while at a cool cafe, we met up with Mineswar and Rambah's eldest daughter who is studying here in Mumbai. She and her roommate joined us for dinner and then took us out to see a Bollywood movie--Kisna-- lots of fun!
