Hi family and friends especially everyone at Wildwood! Happy Christmas from Patnem in South Goa!
Well its been a sublime day here so far today:
rose around midday to beautiful sunshine and jungle sounds (including the ubiquitous howling dogs and cockrels of India) and studied the frogs in the bathroom.
Baptiste is here and loving the feeling of warmth and sand under the feet and its great to see him.
Headed down to Columb bay which is a super quiet, pretty, rocky bay about 2 mins walk from our rooms. Sat up on some straw mats and lounged in a place called Laguna Vista which is a french Nepali couple’s beach restaurant. Loads of places here are run by exotic people who have chosen this life and look good for it! Really chilled music and french cuisine, fresh juices and some local port wine under the airy bamboo roof – christmas breakfast in Goa.
There’s a live music tonight and the seafood platter is looking ridiculously good so we have taken a table there for tonight. Turns out we’ve visited the Nepali guy’s home town and after throwing in a few Nepali phrases we are on special treatment list!!
Apart from that mostly swimming and playing frisbee to work up an appetite!!!!
Somehow still jealous of the Christmas lunch and get togther back home though! Maybe you can set me a plate and freeze it for when I get home?
Love to everyone.
Si
