Into India

Ok! Over the past 3 days I have been "on my way" to India. I was a fine trip with only one stop in Frankfurt Germany, then on to Mumbai (Bombay). Got in at about 3:00 am Mumbai time with little jet lag. I was able to sleep with the rest of the sardines in coach class on Lufthansa. The flight was otherwise nice. Watch a couple of movies and slept to help ward off jet lag.

Friday morning, after 5 hours sleep we made our first excursion outside the hotel. Very interesting; sights smells, smells, smells, people, and, well, did I say smells? Very awesome architecture here from the colonial period. Too bad it has not been maintained very well since the british left. Lots of shopping (he he he) hawkers on the street, average clothing shops and some nice carpet and decorative goods shops. Today, we go to an island in the bay east of Mumbai , Elephanta Island, to see anchient temple ruins carved into the mountain. Pictures to follow.
