he said, she said...

today is day five for matt pie in inja; i recently hit my 2 month mark.

i had decided that goa would bea good place for matt to start, since it's them most 'westernized' indian state. indeed, there are many xtian churches, loads of westerners, and meat and fish dishes...the diversity of this country will never cease to amaze me!

so while pie is soaking in the new land of india (cows causing traffic jams, the best chai ever, etc...), i find myself eager to get back to the 'real india': i miss indian food, i miss eating rice with my hand (although that might just be a southern indian thing?), i even miss squat toilets and cold water bucket baths. i think it might be a while before i get back to some of these non-luxuries, as Moneybag$ over here (my new nickname for matt) thinks that $10 is a reasonable price to pay for a fancy hotel room.

one more full day in goa, we're carting around on a motor scooter (WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! it's SO much fun!), maybe do some yoga or thai massage, book a room in delhi...

tomorrow we go to delhi! it promises to me much more...everything, than goa: more stimulation, more traffic, more people, more busy-ness, and i'm looking forward to a big dose of india! quite an adventure ahead, but for now i'll just enjoy the last full day in goa, walking and swimming on the gorgeous beaches, relaxing, and just soaking up some chill before diving into the madness of delhi...
