Mumbai

Hello from Mumbai! We arrived last night and feeling brave decided to take all local transportation to get to our friend's flat. We got off the train from Pune, literally jumped into a packed out local train that was stopped for about 5 seconds and pushed our way into the woman's car and were completely engulfed in a mass of saris, then took a rikshaw to a known mall in the area and found our way to the apartment complex. Today's agenda is to meet up with another participant in a different but similar program here in Mumbai and then make our way to a market and barter our way down the line of stalls. After all we can take of that, we will head back to the flat, freshen up and get dressed up and head to The Palms Resort for a Mehndi function. It is about 15 miles away and it could take up to 2 hours to get to, so I hear. Let the day begin
