Mumbai has much to see and do, but not many iconic sights. The shortlist is the
Gateway to India, the
Taj Hotel, and the
Indian Railway System with its classic stations and men hanging out the doors of the train cars.
Saturday morning, we took a rickshaw over to our nearest train station and railed it down to the old part of town. We were the only girls and the only children in our train car. We discovered en route that they reserve special cars for women, but saw only a few of them. We boarded during rush hour and were immediately offered seats, so none of us complained.
A few photos from the day...
