India

After Mumbai

When they say Mumbai is warm and humid, they aren’t kidding. With its 14 million people, the city swarms and traffic is wild. Visited two temples, including the Mahalaxmi temple (goddess of wealth) and one to Ganesha (god of prosperity) - both were busy and flower-filled; a veritable fashion show of saris; stopped by the Gate of India and went into the Taj Mahal Hotel. Drove by many other well-known sites, e.g., Chowpatty Beach, Victoria Terminal. Enough for me; good to see but hard to comprehend. Next port will be a big contrast - Dubai.
