Mumbai to Chennai

Running in Mumbai on Wednesday January 7th was a memorable experience. The previous day we had gone by the Taj Hotel and Gateway of India- the location of the terrorist attacks of 26/11. I got up early and went out for a run at 6:00AM. Went by the Taj, looked at it, then cut across towards Nariman Point. Went for quite a while and then turned back. It was a great run, and it was fascinating to see Mumbai in motion at the early hour of dawn. Many people were cleaning the streets, vendors were setting up stalls, people were waiting for buses. Came back to the hotel around 7:30AM. Showered up, went down for breakfast to the Tamarind Restaurant on the first floor. Mala, the travel guide showed up at 9:00AM.
