When we were in Mumbai we stayed at the Darai Mahal. The Darai Mahal is owned by an Hiram Alum and his kids were Hiram Alums too! During our stay, it was our spring break so we didn't have class, which was nice. But we did have to catch up on work.

While in Mumbai did a bit of sightseeing which included a place where 5,000 workers hand washed laundry, University of Mumbai, Train Station, Indian Gate, the Taj Mahal Hotel, and the Hanging Garden. All of these were great to see had a lot of history to it, but I rather not bore you with that. Most of these sight seeing was to look at the architecture and sadly I did not take many pictures of them.

Also, during our stay in Mumbai there was a wedding at the Darai Mahal gardens and we were allowed to attend. Most of us were freaking out what to wear because we sent ALL of our clothes to the wash and didn't have "appropriate" clothing, but we were able to pull it off. We got to congrat the bride and groom and also interact with the guests. They were all very nice and excited to talk to us.

Our stay at Darai Mahal was short, but very memorable. The son of Max, Harish, gave us a heart warming farewell that was very sincere. I will remember him and his family and forever be grateful of their hospitality. I do hope to visit them sometime in the future.
After saying goodbye and shedding tears, we were off to Tanzania.
Great to hear you all are doing well.
