Benaulim - January 27-February 6

Benaulim is a small beach town in southern Goa. The tourists there were mostly our age!! A quiet town, with two  streets, each one leading to a beach. We stayed at a Guest House called Mango Grove.  It was a small family run operation, a father, his two sons and their wives,and three young grandchildren The rooms were simple but clean and had hot water. We were about a 10 minute walk into the town and a 15 minute walk to the beach. It was a great location. We stayed here for 10 days and finally had a chance to slow down and relax.

Mango Grove. Two apartments upstairs that people rented for long stays and 8 rooms down stairs.

Meeting up with Jari and Josephine, the Swedish people we met on the train, and planning to visit a school.

Dinah's, one of the few places that made fresh coffee.

Many families have one or two cows.

Coconuts had to be harvested so they didn't fall on someone's head.

Our favorite mode of travel about 40 rupees or $.60 one way.

A local spice shop with many samples, notice the spoons.

Benaulim Beach, 4 miles long.
