Good afternoon from India (Pics)
Know it's been awhile. Thought I'd drop in & say hello. :hi:

Fields in Goa



Bridge in Panaji (thought riding with a pole like that was a bit dangerous!)



My in-law's guard dog



Everything has moss and mildew by the end of the monsoon, then
gets repainted when the dry season comes.



Old Goa



Ruins of St. Augustine

1. The green in your top photo is absolutely stunning!

3. Thanks
Need to straighten this one out, but you can see how it's flooding in places here...
even in the South part of India.

7. I'm really glad I know about Goa now. I definitely want to visit there someday.
Place looks incredible, and very inviting, monsoons or no.

Hi, HG! :hi:

19. Hi Jeff
The trip here was uneventful... oh, except our bags were delayed by a day, but were delivered within 24 hrs to GOA.

The weather has been very rainy. Wouldn't you know, the one time I visit in August there is record rainfall! lol Seriously, though, I hope it stops soon before the rice paddy fields flood.:crazy:

17. My dear Haole Girl!
I'd wondered where you'd gotten to! And what a beautiful place it is...

I agree with Heidi: that first one, and most of these, could be postcards!

I'll bet it's hot and humid...

The pic of Old Goa, with those wonderful chandeliers and that wood, is my particular favorite!

Have a ball, sweetie!

:hi:

18. Nice photos.
I never did get down to Goa, travelling in the north. Is Goa still a babafreak mecca?

23. Thanks. Not sure what babafreak means, but...
If you're asking if there is still a counterculture movement here in Goa, the answer is yes. 
