Mumbai...

We are no where near there! Arambol is about 9hrs by train and little chance that this attack is spreading across India. It sounds scary reading everything in the news about targeting foreigners, mainly British and Americans from what I've read, but the killings have mostly been Indian nationals. We are in an area full of tourist right now and I feel as safe as can be. Anna is a little worried but that's what she does. No one here really seems to be that worried about the situation unless of course their next stop is Mumbai. We met some Belgians who were supposed to take the train to the infamous train station in Mumbai then catch a flight, but, as any of us would, they are having second thoughts about that. That contacted their embassy who advised them to steer clear of Mumbai all together - sound advice. Although, another traveler in this internet cafe had a different, much more thought out solution for them. Flip a coin. I guess you never know were sound advice will come from, so keep your ears open.

You may have heard, but Patrick was on KGW 10:00 news the day the new re Mumbai broke. He was interviewed and expressed his concern for Anna. Several nice pictures of the two of you that I had not seen before. If you are interested, I found the video at KGW.com. Hope to hear from you soon. Love to you both.
