No Pain No Gain

We are in Goa...ahhhh...life here is very different than the rest of India...its almost like we are in Europe...probably because there are way more Europeans than Indians here...I like it nonetheless. Cows on the Beach...today we saw a cow peeing on the beach...something I never could've dreamt I'd see anywhere...but if you are going to see it somewhere its going to be India....Beach life has been great!!! Reading, Writing, splashing around in the Arabian Sea...having a sunset cocktail..then a fresh seafood dinner...then off to bed in our cozy little beach hut...this is the life...Yesterday I kept putting off buying sunscreen so those of you who know what I look like (and I don't think Ive acquired a mass of blind followers quite yet) can image the burn i received...I did it to myself so no complaining allowed...and its getting better...I should be all ready for the sun in SE Asia....
The hummus here is outstanding!! There is such a large population of Israelis that the demand for good hummus is through the roof..Ben and I have been taking advantage to say the least....

Ill write more tomorrow or the next day right now I'm feeling a little phased by the sun....I know I know...poor me....

The only thing I know about Goa is that part of the Jason Bourne movies was filmed there. That was amazing, so I can imagine that what you are experiencing is incredible. Sorry to hear about the sunburn, and hope you are feeling a little less heat soon. What a place for R&R!

Hey, Beanie! I'm sitting here with grandma on Thanksgiving and she wanted me to respond to you for her:

Hi darling! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Marti's family, but we can't hardly wait to see you.

(She mentioned she was excited to see you at your dad's birthday, but I pointed out that you weren't going to be back until February or so. Thanks for making me piss off Grandma.)

More from Grandma:
Hurry home, we miss you, be safe. And you're in big trouble for not coming home sooner. But I'm not going to India to see you. We did go to Finchfor today, though. Hi to Ben. We love your blog. We'll miss you at Christmas. Hope you're having a good time without us. Grandpa sends his love, too.

More from me: Passengers passengers passengers. I love you!
