Goa Part II

Our only real full day in Goa was Sunday. We woke up around 10 and had breakfast in a cabana by the beach, and were visited by several stray kittens while we were eating. These cats are SO tiny - probably about 1/2 the size of one of my cats (and probably about 1/4 the size of Kelly or Tim's cat...ha ha). Cute as they were, none of us wanted fleas so we tried to keep away. We went down to the beach - about 1 min walk from our hotel door. The beach was gorgeous and HOT of course. When it got too warm, I just went for a dip in the Arabian Sea. The water was perfectly clear and a wonderful temperture. It just felt great. The major difference between this beach and any other beach that I noticed was that every 2 seconds, someone walked by trying to sell you books/fruit/pashminas/jewelry/sunglasses/peanuts/chai/water and pretty much anything else you could think of.

Jill and I took a long walk down the beach where we were approached to jet-ski, go to happy hour and also for photos. There were a lot of Indians at the beach, but lots of British tourists as well. At the end of the day, we had an amazing sunset, where we watched as the sun basically melted into the water. It was pretty awesome. For dinner that night, we had italian again, at this restaurant called J&A's that was on a goregous, christmas light -lit patio under palm trees and stars. As we finished our meal, the power went out (extremely common, I think it's happened at least once a day since I've been here) and then we really got a good look at the night sky!

Monday morning we had enough time for a quick breakfast and another swim. Goa was really beautiful with lots of really nice people there too. The thing that got me the most is that I would have never known such a place existed in India if I didn't go there myself to see it.
