Palolem to Hampi

Today I arrived to Hampi after spending a week on a very nice beach in
Goa called Palolem. I've been spending longer than usual in
places... and it definitely has it's benefits. For example, the
corner Samosa guy that makes kick-ass somosas and Indian-Portuguese
egg sandwiches knows me by name. The food is amazing here... and I've
gotten pretty adventurous... eating stuff like Goan chorisso. But
I've also been amazed at how good (and easy) it is to be vegetarian
here... malai kofta has definitely became a staple.

The overnight sleeper bus to Hampi was really bad... but I got some
sleep once I got here. On the other hand, I just found out that the
town is closing down tomorrow... so I have to leave town. All because
the president of India is coming to town... hopefully I'll find some
accommodations nearby... and come back here in a day or so.
