The Dutch Comes to Visit

Last weekend we had a friend visiting from the Netherlands so we decided to do a proper bit of Mumbai sightseeing on Saturday.  We visited Cafe Mondegar or "Mondy's" as it is affectionately called for a drink and some Tandoori Gobi.  To me it seems like the "Cheers" of Mumbai (that one is for you Jana Adams)! Then we walked down to the Gateway of India and took some pictures with some amazing Indian kids (see below) and stopped in the Taj Palace for a bit of a look around inside.  We walked around Colaba and marveled at the beautiful colonial architecture and stopped in my favorite store Fabindia to purchase a few traditional dupatta and salwar kameez!  We ended the day at the uber-posh Tote on the Turf adjacent the Mahalaxmi Race Course.  All in all, a pretty good day in my favorite city.... :-)  Oh and the first picture may well be my favorite picture ever...that kid is priceless and I have no idea how he made it into the photo without anyone noticing!
