Today was the birthday of one of the girls at our hostel so
four of us booked a taxi and driver for the entire day and drove around Goa.
We
found a small monastery that has a waterfall behind it and we were able to go
down into the water. Shortly after some of the locals where sending offerings
down the river from the monastery. I’m never quite sure what the boundaries are
as a foreigner because they will never be posted/explained ahead of time and
seem to vary depending on so many variables. Luckily, people at the monastery didn’t
seem to mind us going in the water by the waterfall where they were sending
their offerings from at the time.
The best memories of today where the little things, singing
in the car, playing drinking games on the beach, creating new ways to distract
local hawkers, a grand supper of over twenty people at one table followed by
hours of great conversation around a Hookah on the oceanside with some
travelers from England.
I am still waiting for my insulin pump to arrive but my
booking at this hostel has ended a while ago. The hostel owner made
arrangements so that I could stay longer, but with tomorrow fully booked it
looked like I would have to check out until two of the girls offered me one of
their beds for the night so that I don’t have to move hostels. I love the
backpacker community here at Evershine in Anjuna, Goa.
Hoping I get my insulin pump soon as I would like to meet
some other travelers who are heading south to Kerala for a houseboat trip on
the backwaters.
