Just yesterday I celebrated my 29th birthday here in the metropolis of Mumbai! My team took me out to lunch at this buffet at a very nice hotel here in town. It is called the JW Marriot... and it is one of those places where it is just pleasant to sit for a couple of hours. It truely is a wonderful retreat... even just to go for lunch. AND THE FOOD!!! WOW! The food was wonderful! I had some smoked salmon, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and even a waffle! The dessert was fantastic too!
Then I was off to get a pedicure! One of my teammates gifted me with a voucher for a pedicure at yet another nice hotel in town, The Taj. It too is a get away hotel... but I personally like the JW Marriot better. :) I have never had a pedicure before and I must say they are quite nice! I find it interesting that my first is in India... not a place that some would expect to be able to get a pedicure. If you find a nice hotel... you can get just about anything... if you pay. :)
The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing... and then I got to go to a worship conference at a nearby church for an evening service. It too was a blessing.
All in all... I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday! I am yet another year older... which for some isn't so enjoyable... but for me... well, I've not hit 30 yet. :) I have some high hopes for this coming year. They all rest on the Lord and they will all be fulfulled in HIM.

Katie, I am trying to use this blog. I loved your description of the train ride. I have started a blog on this site as a learning exercise. Waiting And Looking Up.blogspot.com. Lanore
I love pedicures, that is what i use as a gift to myself. Manicures are a waste for me. You know with all the hand washing i do. I enjoy your blog very much. I am also ready Amanda's site. Lss-Lanore
