Got sick for the first time this weekend. The plan was to go to Corbett National Park and look for tigers, but due to the Aligarh trip I didn't make it and it was a good thing as I could barely stay awake on Saturday. I spent the day on the couch, trying to catch up with work, but falling asleep every hour or so. Hari, the dude who lives with us and cleans, was concerned and he and 2 others came to ask if I was okay. Very sweet of them. Went into the office on Sunday to help with interviews, but wasn't really neededPublish so just plugged away slowly on the computer.
One of my favorite parts of Mumbai are the Gothic Victorian style buildings that abound the southern part. The Lonely Planet has a walking tour, which we followed part of and it can be combined with a trip to Sasson docks, a bustling fishing port, and Marine drive. To finish off, climb up the intercontinental hotel for a view of Marine drive at night when the Queen's necklace is all lit up. Southern part of Marine drive There was so much happening at the Sassoon docks: boats being loaded with ice or unloaded of fish, fish being sorted, haircuts, games, children coming from school, and ice being crushed. It was cool to be in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
