Well, this town is all about food and drink (okay and shopping) - at least that is our version of it. Jon was almost IN the kitchen tonight - Yep, there he was asking what the marinades were made from, spices, etc and then, Oh Horror - He's has dipped his finger in the marinade, tasting it and recording it to memory! We ate seafood all day today. Tonight was Kingfish, a Goan speciality. Ours was marinated with masala and then cooked in the tandoori - yummy! To add to that, we ordered King Prawns grilled with garlic. And of course, aloo gobi (our best yet) and beer. Hmm, it doesn't get much better than this.
We spent the day lounging around our "spot", drinking ginger tea, masala chai and eating a freshly cut pineapple. The pineapple was so good it was silky and mouth wateringly sweet.
Jon's girlfriends (all the ladies selling jewellery) showed up many times to day. You see, Jon wants to support ALL of them by buying a little something from each of them. Hmm, what will we do with all the chucht-kas?
My favourite line today is Jon sitting in the restaurant, looking around with a chilly beer in hand (it is really hot here right now), and smiling saying "This is really f*&^ing great here!" He was beaming so much I had to put my shades back on.
I did manage to do a 1.5hr Yoga class today! It was great, everytime I did a sun salutation I was looking up into palm trees and eagles soaring high in the sky - now that is my kind of Yoga!
We are having an absolute ball. We are up at 6 a.m. tomorrow to watch the sun rise from an old wooden fishing boat and then to search for dolphins.
Off to bed now under our mosquito net, but not until we have a glass of port on the beach listening to the waves crashing...
Good Night All!
Brenda and Jon

Sorry about the three replies ---- computer problem or should I say computer blog knowledge problem (probably the latter)
