Pictures of Mumbai......

This is one of those moments that will forever be captured in my heart. This child....with nothing...was pouring water from one bottle to the next- just to entertain herself. I fell in love with her and my heart broke all at the same time.
The poverty in Mumbai is the worst I've ever seen. It is unexplainable. This is an example of the edge of all of the freeways- where there are makeshift houses. It is honestly hard to capture the actual level of poverty that is being experienced.
On a happy note...this is Ang standing in the Mumbai train station....where Slumdog Millionaire was filmed!
The start of our sari-dress up. Most sari's are 6 yards of fabric wrapped every-which-way to cover most of your body. The part that is exposed is your belly.....now who really wants their belly exposed?!
Everyone was constantly adjusting us.....it took two women to get my necklace 'just right.' Meanwhile...Ang is snapping photos and I"m trying not to giggle.
We posed EVERY which way possible. A very highly suggested and popular pose was this one where the mirror also shows your hair. Like prom....only different.
All of the ladies and their sari's. Ang and I are the only ones who are minutes away from having our sari's fall off.
                                                                  The final product.....


Ang and I sitting at sunset tonight. We are currently in Udaipur....which is a very beautiful city!
