Mumbai and Onwards

Mumbai slums
Happy Easter to all! I am so out-of-sorts with my timing here that I almost forgot it was Easter...yikes! I am a bit sad to miss out on Easter crafting, egg dying and Sunday mass with the family...but somehow, I will live!
Slums in the shadows of Mumbai
Anyway, it has been a whirlwind couple of days here...from the mountains of Shimla to the sweltering streets of Mumbai, and now coming down to rest in Udaipur. Like so much of India, Mumbai is a city of great contrast. The skyline seems to rise out of the slums.

And yet the architecture is beautiful, as is much of the landscaping. I was surprised at how green of a city it was, with gorgeous flowers in bloom on every apartment balcony. The city is a bit European in its layout...

and yet so distinctly Indian in its people!

Loving your blog! Looking forward to more inspiration photos, I love India and her people, but have not done the country justice yet in terms of travel!

Well... I remember being there. CST Station is not a good experience though.
