Day 14 - Mumbai: the Beach!

Esther took a day off today to play with us. Thanks Esther! We had a nice brunch at the Grand Hyatt hotel – it was lovely, although it may have made us sick. It was definitely a contrast to what we’ve been eating, living, and doing. Did some shopping - we found a great clothing vendor... we had a little fashion inside his tiny sales/storage/office/changing room.

Then we headed towards the beach where we sat outside on the porch of a coffee shop. The weather was pretty nice so that was good. It was neat to see a different side of India. More public affection between men and women. Friends hanging out on the beach. People jogging too! And of course, there are always the poor. As we walked along the shore, we got a snapshot of a homeless dog sleeping next to a homeless man. And then Esther spotted an empty auto rickshaw and jumped in. :)



The rest of the day was not so pleasant for either of us – I’ll spare you the details.
