Goa, India

Our whole purpose for coming to Goa is to take some classes at Rita’s Cooking classes.  Our stay at the Kokum Tree homestay (named after the spice tree) is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. Here at Kokum Tree one can sit on the tiled verandah enjoying some gentle breezes while overlooking a tropical wooded area to the bay beyond.

Call me nuts, but there is something fun and exciting about the craziness and apparent disorder on the roads of these cities. Fumes! Tuk-tuks, trucks, motor cycles, cars, buses, taxis all jostling and nudging and honking their horns! (Photos when we return to Mumbai). Meanwhile – I was totally impressed with the Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport and love these columns.
