Cows enjoy sunset

Strangely, each morning the cows are on the beach for sunrise, then disappear for the day, and then return for sunset where they sit on the beach with the people and enjoy the sights.
Ahhh.....I finally reached the beach and oh, so nice. On the flight from Delhi to Goa, I met up with some Israelis girls (go figure) who told me I should go to Arambol beach in the north. Since i did not have a plan, i said OK. Funny how life works out because as I stroll onto the beach with my backpack in search of a place to stay, i hear someone yell "Larry". It turns out to be Malte, my German friend I traveled with from Pushkar to Jodhpur!

I spent the next few days enjoying the wonderful beach of Arambol with Malte (aka "The Dude") and a group of Israelis (98% of the people there were from Israel).

I will let the photos speak for themselves here.

I hope everyone at home is doing well. Malte and I are heading south to Palolem next.

Most of the journal entries are from my 14-month round-the-world journey I took from May 2005 until July 2006. It was an amazing adventure which took me to some incredible places and allowed me to meet a great group of individuals. Feel free to email me about any of the places I have been or with questions about traveling. Remember, a tourist knows where they are going but can't remember where they've been BUT a TRAVELER knows where he/she has been but not where he/she is going!... full info

I rented a Honda 150 to check out the other beaches in the area. Upon my return, I got Malte to take this shot for me.

The locals take small boats out from shore, cast large nets, and then drag the nets in from shore to catch small fish which they sell and use at the restaurants.
