Cheinan, Liz, Mike, me and Risha on Ashwem Beach
Baga Beach

Goa is attacked by a giant swizzle stick shaped like an anchor AND a tiller
we stayed at the Alidia Guesthouse in Baga which was a nice little place tucked behind a church and a few houses, it was tucked behind one lovely old house which was beautiful inside and each day there was a lady practicing piano and it sounded just wonderful.
the stairs to the room we shared with Cheinanour room is upstairs behind the tree

one tough beat up alley cat, but sweet and looking for love
our rooftop terracehouse and church in front of cottages
an Indian family give their old father an airing on the beach
a rather large family of pigs ran in the wild patch behind the cottages amongst the small local houses there
hello madame, take a look, some sarong, one more, very good price, cheap, you look my jewelry....not bad on Aswem beach but on Baga beach...nonstop...very tiresome after a while

we ate breakfast at Joe's cafe which was sandwiched (ahah..hahhaaa.hahhaa) between Jane's Aurobelle Shops
Joe's little altarAurobelleyes it's a crappy statue of a dog but we ALL at least once saw it in our peripheral vision and thought it was real, we're cool like that
dinner with Ishi and Jane at Fiesta
I finally found the anklets I've been looking for ages, two of course because as no one but Risha was kind enough to explain to me, you're a complete harlot if you wear only one, I wondered why all the shopkeepers kept so delicately insisting that they only sold them in pairs
Aswem Beach, so peaceful and a perfect day
Jane, Ishi and Sky in the waterMike and IshiJane being led by Sky

everyone loves a stroll along the beach, even Mr. Bull, hello...goodbye, thanks for not crapping
