Mumbai under the monsoon

I am writing inside the taxi. Traffic!
The rain is pounding Mumbai no wonder the British came here!
We are a bit wet but it is quite an experience. We spent the day mostly walking downtown.
I like the mix of colonial style buildings with tropical vegetation.
No monkeys here though, nor cows nor sewer smells. This is Mumbai downtown, not India.

We visited a beautiful museum and Gandhi's place. Lots of emotions going on when viewing the pictures and the reconstitution of his life. He was a man!


Had to stop for fruits before arriving home. Papayas, pineapple, bananas, mangoes and watermelon. All of them ripe and have not traveled 2 million miles! Just had a ball cutting them all and sucking the mangoes' pit!
