Let's Go to Mumbai to Fly Away (on monday night)

So today we woke up at the farmhouse- I put a comfortor on top of my mattress because it was so hard- and then I went back to sleep. My father went in to the conference while my mother and I slept in a little. Then we packed (shoved all my stuff in my bag) and had breakfast.

At the district confrence we sat, waited for the bus (supposed to come at 1) took some photos and had soda. Then at about 1:45 we had lunch. And about 2:30 we were honored on stage with shawls. At about 3-ish the bus finally arrived and we left (as in moved out of the gates and on the road) at about 3:30.

More issues with indian time. Nice, na? Na.

So then we had a 4 hour indian time ride ( more like 6) to mumbai. Halfway we stopped at a little store for snacks and met the Bombay west rotary club. Then the men all went to go see some of their project while us girls ( :D ) continued on.

We hit some really bad traffic on the outside of Mumbai and especially once in the city.

But we finally arrived and checked into the hotel, then waited about an hour for the guys to arrive.

Later, Rankin & Sandra and my family (Hamp, Kathleen and Amanda) went to the Choksi's house ( a very nice rotarian and his wife) for supper. Now I'm going to post this even though the day is not quite finished because 1) he has internet and 2) we are getting ready to have supper and then we will go back to the hotel and crash.

Chalo.
(lets go, move - in hindi)
