Many people wear these shirts around the beach down here and for good reason! Today is sadly my last day in Goa after being here a short week! The travel guides are fairly accurate on this one and the sense that I had before coming ..."beachy chilled out paradise" was not so far off! Its not a big sightseeing place and most of the sights are beautiful old churches from when the Portuguese had this land. Besides that, there is the beach!
I was lucky enough to meet some amazing people here even my first night which definitely made this place come alive! Some of the people live here, some are traveling through, some are 19, some are 65 and from all over the world. So I spent this last week laying on the beach, hearing amazing stories of peoples lives, going out dancing, rriding around on the back of motorbikes, going parasailing and jet skiing, witnessing a bar fight, eating some awesome seafood and having a grand time!
Meeting so many different folks from different stages and walks of life has been wonderful for more than just a good laugh. It really makes you drop your judgment at the door and meet everyone with an open mind. I know that at home around so many people i know...I am not meeting new people that often and even if i am, I know that my friends are around so there is no pressure to make a connection. Here the people you meet right off are the people you hang out with day and night. You either become more tolerant or spend a LOT of time alone!
So tonight i take an overnight bus back to Bombay, hopefully arriving in the early morning to buy a train ticket out and maybe get some laundry done. Then trying to go to Udaipur!
The sun is hot here but im looking forward to the chilly nights in the desert!
All my love.
