Carneval!

Rasa flew to Delhi for 3 weeks - to learn more about ayerveda.

So, I took the bus to Benaulim and...

Carneval!!!!

My good friend Rudolf had invited me to share his spaceous apartment. Here he is, spraying the poor carneval participants with water.....

Rudolf with new victims. Since he learnt how to turn a normal bottle of water into a spray bottle, he is dangerous...

Bull fight

Watching the sunset, while waiting for the party 
on the beach to begin

Always boys dancing with boys.....

I warned you about Rudolf, didn´t I!

Waiting for the samba-queen from Brazil.....

...who never showed up.

But we had fun without her...

Market Day

Friday is market day in Mapusa, 20 km away.

Back in Goa, Ashvem beach

New location, new place for blog writing

Doggies even here

and Russians too...

Morning walk along the beach

Some need to pass a small river on the way to the beach, we don't

The Lazy Dog resort!

The Resort owner after morning swim?

Our healthy breakfast

Another sunny day...

Kali Temple Festival and Pudga

Every Festival has it's temptations

and it's Katakali dancers

and it's spectators

loud and louder must it be

No real Temple Festival in Kerala without elephants, even if it's a big discusion about people's security and elephants' wellbeing... I think that any festival would be not the same if there were no elephants....

Deity Kali gets a biiiiiiig present in a form of a horse? carried by houndreds of men 3 times around the Temple

Aren't they gorgeous?

Papanasham beach in Varkala is a place for last body journey and in February you can make a pudga (offerings) for your deceased loved ones   

To complete the ceremony you need to wash yourself in the sea

A sign with a running boy and a handbag hmmm...?
