Visit to Mumbai

I arrived in Mumbai and Ezio, Gregg, Edgar and German took me to Crawford Market
The place where they cut up the meat was filled with crows
Which yes, was rather atmospheric, and a bit stinky
They were filming a movie up here - where the billboard is
And then we went into a cloth shop
And got shown marvelous saris
Edgar wanted to know how to tie one on
I think the salesmen's desire for sale outweighed their incredulity
about wrapping a sari on a big man.
I passed a school yard on the way back to the hotel
And this construction site where dirt is being removed not by a tractor but by women with baskets on their heads
Mumbai was filled with beautiful old buildings
