About to Wrap Things Up...


We're in Mumbai and almost down to the final 24 hours - our plane leaves at 12:30 AM on the 20th.

Tomorrow we'll hire a taxi to stick with us for most of the day before heading to the airport and I think I'll finish this travel blog from home.

I'm already planning my first meal... you have no idea how good a burger sounds after being in a country where cows are sacred. Actually, India's approach to livestock and other animals is interesting. Since reincarnation is a pretty widely held belief, animals are treated with quite a bit of respect. All throughout India we'd see goats and dogs lying in the middle of very busy streets and intersections without so much as a close run in with a rickshaw. Or, we'd see cows wander into train stations and no one gave them a second glance.

Until the final entry, I'll leave you with a few photos of the Ellora Caves, some of which date from the 6th century:
