We are staying with our longtime friends Sumer and Sonali in their lovely apartment in Mumbai. I cannot fully convey how much fun we have had plugging ourselves into their social scene here. The picture below was taken after we attended an engagement party for one of their nephews.
We escaped for two days across the bay by ferry to Alibag, the Mumbai equivalent of the Hamptons.
As always, much of our day revolves around food.
There has been golf (twice).
And even dancing. (I do not own this shirt; Sumer loaned it to me.)
We met Sumer and Sonali back in Chicago, when Sophie began kindergarten with their twins, Saira and Simran. This has been a reunion for the girls.
This being India, one never knows what might happen next--like this wedding party, complete with band, that strolled by our apartment window this morning.
And now Sophie's friend Isabel has joined us all the way from Hanover. She has plunged into the Shankardass Family and will travel with us to Kerala in the south of India.
Through it all, we have tried to abide by local laws and customs.
