Had a very cool day today. We met up with one of our original escorts, Ajay, and he spent the day with us in Old Goa. We visited some more Catholic churches and then tried to do some bird-watching, but there were no birds to be seen. We had lunch at an awesome restaurant owned by a Rotarian.

After lunch we headed to a spice farm where we got to ride a camel and an elephant!





Elizabeth and I gave an elephant a bath...



... and then the elephant gave me a bath!



After a long (wet) ride home, we all stopped in to visit Misty at the hospital. She is doing better and is able to eat solid food again. She's had it really rough this trip. It sucks, too, because she is the only one who never gets cranky or complains about anything. She's always so positive - even when she misses three days of Goa, stuck in a hospital bed.

We made a presentation to the Mapusa club tonight and it was really a lot of fun. Anuj loaned me his Mighty Morphin Power Rangers bracelet (the green one, because it's my favorite color) for good luck.


I have the power!


My AWESOME Mapusa hosts!

They had a great dinner for us afterwards.


I heart chapati.


Mapusa's beautiful Inner Wheel.

I packed all my stuff when I got back home, as we are leaving tomorrow morning for Margao. Unfortunately, I am wide awake. Must have been all the Thums Up I drank. [Buuurrpp]
