2 days in (mumbai)
we've been in mumbai for 2 days now, and the competition for "best yogi" is in full swing. if you ask either of us we will both say we're winning. we've seen everything from cows in the street to lions (while on "safari") to families sleeping on the sidewalk to a serious monsoon, in which we were caught, and from which we escaped not unscathed. today was much easier than yesterday, which consisted of a very basic grappling for sense in a chaotic city, trying to get over jetlag and culture shock all at once, and quickly. today was more controlled and lacked a monsoon, but did involve wildlife and a gaggle of preteen indian girls that wouldnt leave us alone until we shook each of their hands and said "bye" (this is after spending an entire 20 minute train ride being stared at, laughed at or about, and generally focused on), which seemed to please them. we rode through slums and saw beautiful things. we can't wait to get out of the city and start doing yoga, so we can finally settle this "best yogi" thing once and for all.
