Arrived in Goa


We're in Anjuna now, weather is amazing here, it's very very beautiful! Reminds me a great deal of Seychelles. Churches and neon crosses everywhere also. Bad news though, that waterproof wallet is not so waterproof! My phone got damp while wading in the water and doesn't seem to be working. I'm letting it dry some more, but I'm not holding out much hope. Silly me. I asked in a store that sells phones and they didn't think my simm card would work in an Indian phone. I could buy an Indian phone and simm card, but it would probably cost an arm an a leg to text back home.
There's Internet everywhere around here, so it shouldn't be much problem to get in touch, but we will have to find a new time keeping device. Big pain... oh well. I can also call you if I feel like it, there's loads of tourist facilities in Goa.This morning we got off our train, which wasn't too bad. An Indian girl introduced us to "How I Met Your Mother" and American TV show on her laptop! We picked up a cab to Anjuna, and we're staying at the Sunset Bar and Guesthouse at least for tonight and tomorrow night. It's right on the beach! We've rented a moped from them too! It's pink and very easy to get around with, we've only explored Anjuna on it so far, but we'll probably visit Vagator this evening. It's really nice here actually, should have no problem being occupied for 10 days. Pretty bummed out about the phone though, it was very comforting having you guys so easily reachable... We'll be fine though, don't you worry.

Spotted striped fish in rock pools, and lots of crabs everywhere.
