Pics have now been added... ENJOY! _____ Okay folks... we hate to do it to you, but we're going to have to post this entry sans pictures for now... we've already had the text written for days, and have failed tremendously to find a computer that can handle the file uploading for the pictures... unfortunately, this removes almost all of the fun from the entry, and it will no doubt frustrate the likes of Lee, Nathan, Brendan and Ken, who's frequent cries of "I'm only reading the articles!" will be more truthful this time, but serve less function of intent for once! Hope you enjoy the text... we'll keep working on pictures...! _____ We have now experienced a week in India. A week of lows and a week of highs--we are starting to see their is ... read more

So, here I am in Anjuna, after spending a day already in Panaji little town, Goa will be for me only relaxing days, doing...well... nothing at all.

Hi everyone, It's been a while and I've missed you. A persistent tummy bug has kept me from being anywhere near the frame of mind needed for writing, or sitting or walking for that matter. I am back now and ready for some literary action! I'll spare you the details of my past week but if you like, you can imagine an unending expanse of perfect sand flanked by coconut groves and the warm Arabian Sea. Then, one hundred paces away, beind the coconut grove, imagine a beautiful airy guesthouse painted white, trimmed with blue. Take a look at the second balcony from the right, the one with the clothesline drying bikinis and summer dresses. If you really strain your eyes you'll see two ridiculous free-standing mosquito nets, loved desperately by their owners, and some discarded ... read more

So i guess you guys were wondering are they ever going to do anything over than sit on the beach in Goa - well the good news is yes we did! Today we went to the capital of Goa Panaji, even caught a public bus there - check us out! The buses are actually ok, no goats on the top weeing down the window as someone told me was the case!

Me and Michelle were ok though, she got the Ladies seat and i got the seat for the physically challeneged!! So got to Panaji and did a one hour walk tour that was in our ... read more
