I just went to India and wrote home about it in a few emails over my trip. So, between the emails I sent and the notes in my journal, I’m going to repost it here. Though it sounds like I’m in the present doing these things, it all started about 2 weeks ago from today. I have started posting photos! However, I have about 500 pictures to sort through. I’ll post them in batches, so keep checking in.

The flight from Atlanta to Mumbai was 15 hours long. On the way back, that leg of my flights will be 18 hours. Wahhoo! I shed my long underwear on the plane before we landed (it should not be a surprise that I had them on…plus, I will need them in Leh up north). It was a balmy 80+ degrees (F) at 10 pm at night here in Mumbai. Lots of humidity. My curls already have extra spring and frizz in them. It’s been 4 years since I’ve seen Jon and we were able to sit together on the flight from Atlanta. Great to reconnect.

Anyway, off to Delhi tomorrow evening, so it’s a quick stay for me in Mumbai. It’s great to be here and I’m so excited to just soak in everything. I’ll try to check email in the morning before we leave, but probably not again until I’m in Chennai. Who knows. I am told I get to wake up to crows tomorrow morning. Right now there are some dogs barking and birds zipping. Not too bad actually. Jon’s neighborhood is pretty quiet…relatively.
