The WiFi in our flat has been less than adequate the past few days making it nearly impossible to download photos to WordPress in order to post on my blog. WiFi is still pretty slow so it’s taken me a long time to bring these photos to you.<\/p>\n

The following photos were taken Friday and Saturday while I was either on foot or out in an Uber. Uber is the way to travel here nowadays. It costs less than $3 USD to get just about anywhere in town. It doesn’t matter what language the Uber driver speaks. The drivers have the destination and navigation so it’s foolproof … most of the time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shoes anyone?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This group sends the youngest ones out in traffic to beg for money. The second photo down shows this little girl in pink knocking on a driver’s window. She looks like she might be 6 or 7 years old.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A look from the backseat of an Uber. Most of them have decorated Ganeshas sitting on the dashboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the Maharashtra Store where I buy most of my groceries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s one of many produce carts near our flat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Free Whilly …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coffee Nation …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Live entertainment …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Waiting for the bus …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fine artwork, and look, it has graffiti which is rare here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, it wasn’t raining when I walked to the store, but when I stepped out of the store to go home it started pouring!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Murtis outside RIMYI…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hanuman …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The flat I’m staying in is on the ninth floor of this 10-story apartment building. RIMYI is next door to the left of the flat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can’t believe my trip is almost half way over. Five weeks sounds like a long time, but it’s going by fast. We’re still experiencing rain off and on daily and extended forecast still calls for lots of rain.<\/p>\n
