Beaching it in Anguna

We are now in a little rural beach town-Anguna!! (Goa). Some of already know, but this was/is a big hippie town so there are a lot of older burnt out 60's hippies and then also next generation hippies who seem to live here long-term. We have just been relaxing on the beach and exploring. We took a motor bike cab to Vagator, which is another gorgous beach town! Like Mumbai, everything is a few sizes smaller then Canada--the cars, stuff at the store and people. I feel like a big giant Canadian (oh, Janice was told she wasn't Canadian, she was "Hispanic"). For example, when we went to a Bollywood movie people kept asking us to slouch down because we were blocking their view. We went to two Bollywood movies, which were fun. Though of course we couldn't understand anything, but we took turns making up our own commentary. There is a lot of nationalism here, before the movie they play the Indian anthem and at the end one person yells something and then everyone cheers!! We're not sure how long we're going to stay, as we both love it here! but we will probably head down to Panjii in a few days...

Hi Sarah,
I have my Lonely Planet Guide out for India to read about Anjuna beach.
It says that full moon is a particularly good time to be there so try and hang on until Friday!
I think the picture of the hammocks is particularly creative...and the people shots are precious.
How was the 14hr train ride?
Greetings from N.S. ( temperature is - 19C. Aren't you happy to be in India?) Lisa and Brian
