Well, here we are! Amy and flew from Toronto to Brussels, Brussels to Mumbai. Left Toronto at 6:25 pm arrived in Mumbai next day at 11:30 pm! Stayed near the airport at the Iskcon Guest House - address Hare Krishna Land (really!) - Juhu. Juhu is a suburb of Mumbai, and the guest house was very nice, hot shower, etc. We walked around the area in the morning, tried to get my Blackberry unlocked so we could put a SIM card in it (unsuccesful) and experienced the autorickshaw driving in Mumbai traffic! Unbelievable - lanes? Traffic lights? No matter!
Anyhow we survived, and got back to the airport in time to fly to Goa, taxi to Arambol beach, found a nice guest house for $10 a night, near our friend Leita's. Spent today with Leita, walking around the town, learning the ropes, getting over some jet lag. Hatha Yoga class at 4 pm, visited the beach for sunset, then played an open stage at a restaurant. It's 11:30 here, and time for bed.
First impressions? It's a wonderful place here, most people are incredibly sweet, and so far everything has gone smoothly (well almost everything). We have a cell phone now, and are sending out the number to our kids so they can be in touch. Tomorrow is another day! I will have more time and energy to write another time. Good night!
