Sunny skies of Goa...

Thirty-one degrees temperature and the ocean waves along the coastal beaches are undescribable.  Goa is known for its white sand, and I must say, the marine life along the beaches is something to see and experience.  Crabs walk along the beach, and starfish float elegantly in the waves.  Spending a week in Goa, midway through our 4-week vacation was perfect.  It gave us all a break from the very busy city life and quiet village living, and gave us an opportunity to relax. 


Goa’s tourism season is from October to early April.  The local merchants rely entirely on tourism for income and support, and there really is no other means to support themselves, such as harvesting or farming of crops due to the extreme hot weather conditions.  Although we stayed primarily on the resort, we did venture off the resort once to see the local shops.  As we caught the tail end of their season…the shopping was fun…but I must confess, bartering is a lot harder than it looks…and I am sure even when I think I have gotten a good deal...I am sure I am still paying way too much…lol…
