today (sat) we went to elephant island which is about 1 hours slow boat ride from mumbai...guess they think it looks like a elephant, that's why it's named that...as we were walking to the boat, we saw this man..look at the picture..he's eyebrows are like visors, as kathy said...plus, the little beggar boy selling flowers..he looked like he was about 4...at elephant island we had to walk up 130 stairs...whew! it was hot!!! dripping!!! we saw monkeys that you have to watch your stuff around them, because they will steal it...what we saw is this hindi temple...it tells the 7 stories of shiva..one of their gods...this temple was dug out of the mountain,, it took 300 years to build starting in the 6th century...amazing..plus these statues were really good...when we were going back to the boat, these little old, shriveled up ladies wanted us to take our pictures with them...then you pay them...so kathy and russ did...but, the one lady was very upset because she wanted to be alone with russ...she was ok after we paid both of them...so there is russ with his 2 new girls...going back in the taxi, we were all four crammed into this tiny thing...russ' head barely fit...they are really small...so, another day...more later...
