Some more pics of India

[Haole Girl]

These were taken with my iPhone:

Goa airport (you're not supposed to take pics in there, but I couldn't help it!)



There are no dryers. But who cares, when it's so warm?!



My in-law's backyard. They don't like grass, so they remove it
when it grows.



Coconuts (a million & one uses for them in Goa)




The country. My in-laws own some property just to the right of
the house.



The market


The rose tea is excellent!


Ozran


I miss the fresh chicken curry & chutney. yum. :-) Sorry it's blurry.

1. Great shots!

What a great trip you must have had.

[Haole Girl]

2. Thanks

It's amazing there. Wish I was there right now, instead of here in the cold.

3. Beautiful place!

I laughed about them removing the grass :D
And I could just smell the spices and teas :9

Try the red tea next time (it's not a true "tea" as it comes from an African plant called "red bush", unrelated to the tea family.) It's a very nice tea with no caffeine.

5. It is

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look for that next time I go. Oh, and yeah, I thought that was funny too. :D

17. You can get red tea here, too, if you want to see what it's like.

I get one variety here called "rainbow tea" at an international market. It has blue, yellow and red dried leaves in it and a nice vanilla aroma :)
Not all red has the vanilla aroma, so don't expect it in all the rest ;)

[Haole Girl]

19. I might not like it if it has a vanilla aroma...

vanilla candles are overwhelming to me. :-(

[kentauros]

25. I think it's just the rainbow kind that smells like vanilla.

Normal red tea doesn't have that smell. I don't have any at the moment, but maybe get a sampler pack that has some red tea in case you don't like it...

13. Ah...I remember Bombay in monsoon.

I could NEVER get the mildew out of that shirt collar.
:-)

LOVE curry.
I can almost smell it now.

(Note to Miz t. - Shrimp Curry tomorrow night?)

Envy you.
Have a good time.

14. Hi trof

Oh, we're home. Those pics were from December.

I need some curry, again, soon!!

Next time we go will be at the end of monsoon. But I spent summers in Indonesia, during monsoon, so I know what to expect. The humidity bothered me more than any mold! :hi:

18. I love the way the people of India wear such bright beautiful colors.

:-)

[Haole Girl]

20. Me too!

Life is too short to wear only black, brown & white! :-)

[Aristus]

21. The Pilgrims and the Victorians would have disagreed with you on that.

"Life is short, brethren. Pray hard. And wear only black, brown or white." :P

Native American & Irish! :P
