Yay for Pictures!

Go to www.flickr.com/photos/87302152@N00/ to see some pictures from our trip. I am still trying to figure out how to post the rest of mine, and my camera battery died in jaipur, so thats why there are so few. If anyone else posts their pics online, add the link below.

The end of the trip 6/2

It's Thursday June 2nd, and only seven of us remain. On tuesday, Amelia and Giovanni left. On Wednesday, we said goodbye to Allison Guy. Today, four more went off: Imane, Ankita, Elena, and Victoria. Our group is thinning out and people are moving off to destinations around the world. It's a little sad, but the goodbye's only for a few months. Plus, we're all leaving with some excellent memories.

As soon as we got into Bombay, Matteo and I befriended a street beggar named Madhu. He's 19 but could pass for 16. We've had some adventures.

We also visited the tomb of Haji Ali, which is 100 meters out into the ocean. Steps lead away from the tomb right into the ocean. There were a lot of people there.

Today was cloudy, and soon enough the monsoons will be rolling in to cool off the extreme Indian heat. We didn't do much today, being that our numbers are half, but in the last few days in Bombay we've visited with the TATA institute, Somaiya Trust, MMRDA, and ICICI bank. It's been a lot of fun.

Now, Matteo, Allison, and I are going to sneak into the Taj hotel swimming pool.
