Boomshanka!


The picture shows a street seller in the shade of one of the two juggernaughts in Gokarna. In the top right corner, can you see the monkey? Later today we are going to visit Kudle Beach. There is another beach further down the coast called Om, due to it's '3' shape. A boat will take you there for Rs50.
Justin is due to arrive in the early evening tomorrow. We've all been imagining what it would be like to stay in a place like this during the rainy season, hunkered down (sorry, been spending a lot of time with an American!) in a little house, writing or painting.
Where we are staying there is a nearby temple from which we often hear chanting; our room is also quite echoey so we're constantly singing. We are hand washing our clothes on a washing stone just outside. Rhiannon is considering extending her trip by two weeks in order to do a Vipassana meditation course. Boomshanka!

I hope that juggernaut is securely stopped! Keeping up with the news of your travel is proving to be a very popular pastime here - Readership in UK, Canada and Australia, at least. Nuniwokingkac was searching for you in Goa, but missed you .. unless you saw an Eskimo drummer on the beach (www.nuniandshelly.blogspot.com). xxxx daddy
