We are now half way done with our year-long journey so we arranged (courtesy of Beth’s parents) to spend a week at a five star resort on a beach in Goa. Goa is a region on the west coast of India renowned for its beaches and resorts. We stayed in southern Goa in a town called Varca at a resort called Club Mahindra. There are 205 guest rooms on 14 acres with two pools, three bars, three restaurants and one huge expanse of sandy beach.
The vibe of the region is closer to the Caribbean than to India. I am sure part of the reason is that Goa was a Portuguese colony and so has a significant Catholic influence. We spent our days just reading, swimming or taking short trips on the local bus into neighboring towns. We spent our evenings over nice dinners of fresh sea food with fruity rum drinks in hand. The purpose was to relax and recuperate from intense traveling and we certainly did that all week long.
