Goa,
We arrived in goa yesterday afternoon.. It is really quite different here from the other places that we have been too.. It was under Portuguese rule for over 400 years.. In 1961 it went back to India.. Because of this, there is a heavy Christian influence. The guy at dinner said that currently ~ 30% of the population is Christian. The buildings are different, and the level of income seems to be higher.. It is also the Hawaii of India.. We are here in the off season, but they said that during the season, there are direct charter flights our of Europe. It is also interesting that all of the menus have Russian as one of the languages on them. From what I can tell.. It becomes quite the party place. Our Hotel is wonderful, and the views are fantastic… Aside from all of this, we really are missing home… we are thankful for what we have there… this has given us a real chance to evaluate our selves.. More on that later.
