The witching hour on Ashvem Beach

The Yab Yam Resort was very  magical at night. One thing that did surprise me was their technique for helping with the mosquito problem. Every night at dusk they lit bowls of cow dung along the paths to smoke out the mosquito's. When Biri told that it was cow dung, I didn't believe him because it didn't smell that bad. What an inexpensive way to deal with these flying pests. With the number of cows around, cow dung was in abundance.

Biri took us to one of the local beach bars close to where we were staying. We met up with some Canadians who have been in Goa for years and years. They were transplanted hippies. We heard some interesting stories and wondered how they had survived this long considering the 'adventures' they have had. They were actually heading off to a ceremony for a friend who had past away last week from a motor cycle accident.


Respecting traditions

This is why you carry around a flashlight. This picture is only lit by the flash of my camera. I thought it was funny to take off your shoes at a beach bar.
