Day 4: Home Sweet Home

This morning I woke up sad. So sad to leave vacation. So not ready to enter the craziness that is Mumbai. However, when I stepped off the plane in Mumbai, I felt relief. A surprise. Relieved to be home. Mumbai feels like home. A moment of thanks.

We got home and saw familiar faces. A moment of thanks. Thank You for familiarity. Thank You for these people.

We walk into our flat, and there's Patricia! A moment of "Thank You!" She has made us a welcome cake, complete with a sign. A moment of thanks.

Thank you, Patricia, for making us a cake! :)



We arrived on Day 2 of 11 of a festival called Ganapati. For people from Mumbai (and Maharashtra--the state), Ganapati is like Christmas. We were able to spend some time getting to know our neighbors better. Building relationships. A moment of thanks.

People are playing drums and dancing in the streets. This is home. Thank You, Father, for making this place feel like home.

The view from our living room.
Banging drums. People dancing.
