After a terrible 10 hour bus ride to Mapusa, Goa and a 30 minute taxi ride to Anjuna, we arrived in paradise....
We got the last room available at the Vanila Guest House where a fellow Oregonian, Reid was staying at. The guest house was runned by the nicest people ever, Clara and Paulina. As we left our stuff at the room, we headed out for breakfast in a cute little restaurant over looking the ocean. We all got nutella pancakes, it was soooo good! Later on we headed towards the sand only to get stopped by the many shop keepers trying to get you in their shop. "Come look at my shop. I give you good deal." That is all they said. So after getting side tracked for a bit, we finally got to the sand! The Arabian Sea was soo warm and the sand was hot! Oh, it was heaven! We all just walked, ate, drank fresh fruit juices, and played in the water all weekend! We also got to meet other travelers from France and the UK, and we got the chance to hang out with them. The two guys we met are just taking time to travel for at least 6 months! We also got to talk to a lot of the locals who would say to us "I like your skin, it's white like chicken!" Heehee. Gosh, that was a awesome weekend that I wished that never ended.
New week and off to the rural area with the Dabaks, then to the village for Dada's wedding!
So just to let you all know, I get back to the states on the 13th, not the 12th, at 11:30am. Let go celebrate with some dim sum! Yum!

he he, what an expression, "white like chicken", I like it, must mean after the chicken is plucked of its feathers? I recently heard that skin whitening cremes are becoming a hot commodity in India. It's really sad that they want lighter skin. Sounds like you had a fabulous time, working hard and playing hard. Is this going to be a 2nd wedding you are going to? How fun!
