Friends

Dave here.....

I have to admit that these days I don't take a lot of pics of my friends as I would just prefer to hang out with them rather than photograph them, but I do have a few of the B.C. crowd and some of the friends who have gathered together this month in Agonda.  Here's a sampling.....

Sasza and birthday-boy Walter, on the beach

Waiting to see if the single ATM in Agonda has money! Maggie, Anne, Ken & Patty.

Early breakfast in a little eatery, getting chai and samosas, on the way for a day trip to Gokarna.

Post-breakfast safely crossing the road - which in India is often a death-defying feat!

Paul and Dave and friends on the beach at Gokarna.

Maggie, Anne, Sasza and Paul at a small temple near Gokarna town.

 

Paul & Sasza on the steps of their coco-hut at Secret Garden.

Our Spice Farm guide and owner, Patty, Anne, Ken, Paul and Maggie.  Great tour and great lunch!

Anna Banana at the Spice Farm owners house.  The floors of the central area and
courtyard are made of local cow-dung, which repels insects.  The bananas are for a quick snack.

Pratima & Walter sharing some post-birthday gift champagne on the beach at Hidden Garden Restaurant.

Patty & Ken among the stars on their hut at Secret Garden.

A small crowd outside of Margao's best south Indian restaurant, Kamat.

Eating Channa Bhatura and iddli with sambar & coconut chutney at Kamat's....with a couple of cold ice cream coffees!

Dolls on the street in Margao.

More Margao dolls!
