Goa
Got up at 3:30 in order to catch a 5:00 am flight from Mumbai. The folks who know me, know that the crack of eleven is an appropriate rising time. The contrast between Goa and Mumbai, or at least the hotels we're staying in, is extreme. I was just about getting used to our compact room. We didn't have Internet access, and time was short, particularly as we had so much eating to accomplish--great food and great company.
Here's a flower on the way to the beach, Hank contemplating the Indian Ocean where the sky and sea are barely distinguishable with monsoon season around the corner, and wonderful critter designs that bring to my mind crop circles, though I guess they're more like stars and are only 4" or so in diameter.

I love the sand critters. Do you have any idea what they are? You'll definitely have to weave up that design when you get back.

Hi Ruth
I haven't a clue what they are! Maybe tomorrow I can entice someone who knows to come with me and identify the creatures. Meanwhile it's 9:00 pm and we're waiting for a bus to take us to dinner, and finally, having not eaten most of the day, I am hungry. As I wrote earlier the food is delicious and plentiful--making my hips equally plentiful!
