Second holiday of the year and it had to be somewhere HOT and believe me it was. We stayed in Candolim which was set up for the package tourist but if you move away from here and Calangute you will get a real taste of India. I was only here for 1 week so did not have time to explore all of Goa but if you head further up north to Vagator and areas up there you leave the package tourists behind and discover the reasons why the hippies never went back...

Excellent photos and writing here. Goa is on my short list. Cheers on your birthday!
those aren't locals, they are migrants from nearby states of Goa... nonetheless I like your notion of generosity as poverty is a universal problem
Love your description of 'Prazeres'...its also a long walk to the beach! Blu
