Mumbai Today

Prakash and Shailaja showed Hollie and I around Mumbai/Bombay today. They have been so kind and generous to us. We saw a variety of temples including a Jain Temple, several Hindu temples, and the Farsi Wall of Silence (where Farsi funerals are held - bodies are layed out on towers and consumed by vultures). We visited a beautiful hanging garden, did some shopping for white meditation clothes (required by the yoga program), visited Prakash and Shailaja's community club and enjoyed some of the best food we have ever eaten. Shailaja is such a talented cook. I've been paying attention so, when I get back, I'm going to host a dinner party featuring the favorite foods from our trip. You will all be invited :). Prakash is a wonderful tour guide. Everyone who has experienced his hospitality encourages him to open up a tour company. He planned an ambitious and fun itinerary for Hollie and I during the four days, which we are spending here in Mumbai. We are so grateful.
