Viva India

After 30 hours of travel (and a short visit to London on New Year's Eve) We made it to Mumbai in one piece (with the exception of Bree's voice). Matt and Lindsey were at the airport waiting for us. They looked almost as haggered as us having spent a horrible day in Delhi. They had managed to get to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and loved it. Then they celebrated New Year's with a feast from McDonalds. Delhi itself was less than welcoming especially when someone at the airport stole Matt's ticket.

Now here in Mumbai, things are a little more laid back than in Delhi. Yesterday, the four of us walked the streets and saw the India Gate, the spot where the British first landed. We also went to Chowpatty beach and bought food off the street. We're not sick yet so I guess it was okay. Today we leave for Goa to meet with a representative from the Rashtriya Life Saving Society. After that we will begin teaching. All of us are enjoying the heat, getting used to dealing with beggars, and still getting scammed by taxi drivers. Hopefully, we will have internet access so we can post more often and a computer with a USB port so we can put up some pictures.

Cheers, Ben and Bree
