Arambol, Goa in India

So I'm back on the road. 

I got to Arambol, Goa two days ago, and it's been really nice nd relaxing here.  I'm traveling with Ifat (ee'f-aht), my cousin's friend. We've been getting along pretty well as travel partners... given that we only met in the airport in Israel! We found a hut on the beach which is quite comfy and cheep... no mosquitos, but we've had some monkey visitors (meaning real monkeys) in the middle of the night; but they couldn't figure out how to get in :)

The weather is amazing... the water is so pleasant, and the food is delectable... I'm just waiting to get sick :( 

I found a group of volleyball players here on the beach from everywhere in the world including India... and it's been a blast to play after taking such a long break from the sport.  A nice dip in the water is also something you don't get to do while playing VB in Central Park.

I also got one of the vendors to sow me a "sleeping pouch".  Just a huge sheet folded in half and sown most of the way up.  Maybe it will buy me some protection from the mosquitoes, as I have decided not to take anti-malaria pills right now. Knock-on-wood.

I have no Idea where I will head to next... probably south a bit.
