INDIA!

A week on the beaches of Goa, India!  Delightful, peaceful, restful, and invigorating!  My friend Annalize (from South Africa) and I stayed at a yoga retreat right on the beautiful beaches of Goa on the west coast of India.  This was in early December and the weather could not have been more perfect!!  It had been getting chilly in Saudi (lows of 5 degrees celcius, and highs in the teens).  The weather in India was warm beachin weather, actually it is high season for this very reason.  We spent the week laying on the beach, attending spectacular yoga classes that were excellent for the mind, body, and soul.  We took long walks on the beach, drank beers in the sand, watched the sun set, hula hooped like mad on the beach, enjoyed a beautiful total Lunar Eclipse.  Actually this lunar eclipse was really really amazing.  It was red as it started which I think is quite rare and could maybe be best seen in Asia, oh check that out, that's where we were!  It was the longest lunar eclipse in 10 years, quite a lovely treat!  Also this place has delicious fresh foods and fruits and veggies!!  The people there were super interesting.  A lot of Europeans doing wellness tourism.  They came to this yoga resort to do yoga but also Ayurvedic cleanse.  This as a big deal it seemed and the best Ayurvedic doctors are properly trained in the art in India!  One guy had just graduated from college two days before arrival, actually he was from Akran, Ohio and had attended Kent State, small world.  It was so wonderful to actually take a vacation!  This was the most relaxing of all the traveling I've done so far!  A great get away!!
