Becoming a little more hippie everyday...

Yesterday, after an evening of long islands and movies the night before, we did not wake up until 11...

Then we lazed around and read until noon, and THEN we ate lunch/breakfast/brunch and took a ridiculously long walk on the beach while it rained. Now Goa is the ultimate hippie spot even though all the hippies move up North and out of the rain during the monsoon season, but the monsoon creates some pretty stellar waves. Again Junie and I were trying to keep our purses dry in front of us and got completely soaked everywhere else. So we said screw it and decided to go for a swim. Made ourselves a little tent out of our umbrellas to keep the purses dry and went for a swim in true hippie/skinny dipping style and my dear hippie friend Junie taught me the art of looking at someones eyes and no where else.

But never-the-less it was so much fun to jump over waves and try to surf them in and then we took the epic-ly long walk back and devoured a plate of mashed potatoes in no time flat. Hands down the best mashed potatoes I've ever had and I had been craving them for days!

We have acquired a dog who sleeps in our room and walks wherever we go and he is our protector, even walking me to the bathroom last night at the restaurant :-) Dogs are a comfort no matter where you are and Junie and I really needed this time of relaxation. We are leaving today though and moving to central Goa to see some waterfalls, animals, and old cities...if we don't leave now we may get drawn into this peaceful, carefree, easy way of life and never go home!
