I have been in India only 3 days and I have had the pleasure to experience the famous Goan tradition of the Arjuna Market, have braved the traffic (more about this to come) by riding on the back of a scooter, swam in the Arabian sea, have had numerous banana lassies (thanks a ton Kristy for recommending those!), made friends with cows (who are everywhere, and I mean everywhere) and have learned how to haggle! I can only imagine what more is to come.
Here is the beautiful retreat where I will be spending most of my time. If anyone is interested in a trip to Goa, this is the place to stay. Satsanga Retreat
Here is a typical shot of a cow. They roam the streets, chew on things, lie in the middle of the road … basically, whatever they want to do. This one is eating the beautiful flower arrangement off the gate.
