Mumbai
Arrived in Mummbai on Jan 16 via Bangkok and so far our time here has exceeded expectations. The sites are great, lots of cool Art Deco buildings for example, the weather almost pleasant (not too hot), the people are friendly, the food is tasty and cheap, and we have an awesome corner room at the Hotel Victoria for a reasonable price (about 35 USD per night).

Hallelujah! Finally, a "we're well" post. I'd called John, Sr. to learn he'd heard from you and you are safe.
