Gorgeous Goa...

Yesterday night i was sitting in chair in my small veranda looking into the sky.Here and there i could see the stars peeping from the clouds.I was thinking where was i one year back,what was i doing.It was very difficult to recollect as it was one year back.(As i don't remember events that took place a week before).Images flashed into my mind... serene beaches,beautiful churches, yummy ,tangy kokam juice,tasty bebinka....I hope you guessed it...Yeah i have been to goa last year.This was my consecutive second visit to that beautiful place.Initially i was bit skeptical about going to that place as there were stories going around about the security in goa.Inspite of all these things we thought of giving it a try.Initially we planned to travel by train as we can enjoy the picturesque locations.But time was our constraint so thought of taking a flight missing all those beautiful locations(hmmm..never mind).As soon as we landed in goa i could sense that heavy moist air blowing,weather was hot but bearable infact very nice,very sticky feeling(as summer season started).

We took a taxi to Patnem

Our shack :-) a few steps away from the beach. The sea was not so deep there,that is we can go a little bit into the sea and see that the water had just reached till our knees.

This place is meant to sit and enjoy the beach with a kokam juice.We had a nice evening walk from one end of the beach to the other end.The beauty of this beach is it is in the shape of a Cresent and few people know about this place i guess.We woke up early in the morning and had a walk and enjoyed the sun rise.The coconut trees just bent in the shape as if they want to come and soak in the sea.

Early morning in palolem.
Time just passed away and we were back with beautiful memories.
