Christmas in Goa

Christmas in Goa! We arrived in Goa and quickly started our adventure as a tiny Maruti Suzuki picked us up from the airport and we drove from the South to Baga Beach in the North. As you will see below, Matt, Alina and I are crammed into the the tiny, steamy backseat and I quickly became the annoying backseat driver as our actual driver raced us along the windy path to Baga Beach.

After an afternoon in the heat, we headed back to Alidia for a dip in the pool, beer, and fresh lime soda for the pregnant chick.

Later that evening, we had dinner at a shack on the beach and were entertained by the fire juggling act . . .
