Today was our first full day in Mumbai and it was the beginning of us finally getting comfortable in India! This country and this town are super intense so it took a little time to get used to it. But now, we are enjoying the chaos and the experience of being here. We checked out a few museums in Colaba and wandered the shops and bazaars to see what India shopping is all about. We’ve yet to buy anything but Bobby is eyeing a few button-down shirts and I am trying to say no to all the fun jewelry. So far – we’ve been successful:-) But we have 4 more days in Mumbai so we’ll see how well we can hold out!

Causeway in Colaba is your best bet for jewellery… Do buy some!

Welcome to the fast pace of India. Scared of the drivers yet?!?!? When we went to Chennai for the wedding, Courtney told me to just close my eyes when we were on the road. The scariest part of driving was watching the dad driving the motorcycle, with toddler on the gas tank in front of him, mom holding a small baby in her arms as she rides side-saddle. Have a great time. Lynn
