We returned to Mumbai from Araungabad, spent the night and caught the 11:00pm train to South Goa. This was a sleeper train as the ride was 13 hours. Finally, we were headed to the beach and a week of staying in one place.
We shared our train compartment with three people from Sweden, Jari, his friend Josefine, and his brother Henry. It happened that Jari and Josefine were in India to make a video. This was going to be Jari first documentary and he had just purchased his cameras and other equipment in Mumbai.
After a short chat about education, Jari brought out his video equipment, (lights, cameras and microphones), and he set them up in our compartment. We were talking about Digital Age Learning and he taped until 2:00AM while we were talking about educational experiences. Charlie wowed them with his educational philosophy and thus the educational documentary began. We all were getting off at the same train station and we agreed to meet again so he could tape Charlie some more.

We have met three times while we have been in Benaulim Beach. Jari and Josefine have been working to set up the taping sessions making sure the sound, lighting, and video were high quality.
Breakfast together
We took a two hour ride on the local bus (one way) to have breakfast with them at the beach where they were staying. We arranged to come back in two days told visit a college.
