Who knew that there was such gorgeous, open air scenery just hours from Bombay! I spent the day today on trek with about 20 others, mostly native Mumbaikers. It was a gorgeous, intense hike through field, forest and falls (water that is...) Everything was lush and green, alivened by the monsoon rains that are due to end any time now. It was a wonderful escape from the frantic pace of Mumbai and a great way to connect with some other like-minded people. The trek itself reminded me of others I've taken in Venezuela, Guatemala, Turkey and Macedonia.

Very cool. Looks like you're having a great time.
The stampede at the temple in Jodhpur was a story all over the news. I had no idea that such a situation is "common" at Hindu celebrations with the mass gatherings. The "Auntie" in me wants to say "BE SAFE" but enjoy and explore! ( I like you HIKING instead of attending temple with the masses)!
