Mum-bye! :)

Well, folks, we're in India. Plus, we adopted a new travel buddy: Kit!  We have been met with the most hospitable and kind people one could imagine. Our past week in Mumbai has been spent riding in Vision Rescue buses, which visit slum areas to bring education and food to hundreds of children. The kids here are gorgeous and brimming with joy. It's not hard to get a smile or giggle out of them, and their little selves have made our days so fulfilling here. The organization's staff is comprised of beautiful souls, who teach and love these kids on a daily basis, and they have made us feel right at home from the very start.

In between all the fun with the kids and staff, we have had some unique opportunities. Look for us in Race 2 (an upcoming Bollywood film); thanks to our white skin, we were asked to be extras! But don't get too excited--after 12 hours of filming, we are unsure as to whether we even made it into 1 second of the film. Also, our new friend and tour guide, Michelle, secured our spots on a tour of Dharavi (the biggest slum in India, second largest in Asia). While the tour revealed many harsh realities about living in such a place, it also focused on the community's productivity and resourcefulness. They literally recycle everything imaginable, making an income off of what the rest of the city considers garbage. So much to see and learn in this city, so little time.

We are off to New Delhi on Wednesday after a couple more days with Vision Rescue. Stay tuned for more on our Indian adventure...
