A short stop in Mumbai allowed us to catch up with Kuntal, an old coworker of Pete's, meet Kuntal's family. They were great hosts, showing us around the neighborhood, feeding us very well, and making some of the best chai!

From Kuntal's house, we took the commuter train (not during rush hour, thank goodness!) to downtown for some sightseeing ...

| The Taj Hotel - George W. Bush stayed here that night (we wondered why there was so much security!) |

Not only did we see some sights, but we also sampled some yummy local cuisine. Pete's coworker, Mahima, gave us some great suggestions ...

Our least favorite part of traveling is the amount of bottles of water we buy each day. Unfortunately, we found out where all of our plastic bottles end up ...

Sad :(
