Greetings from India. Again.
I am just leaving Anjuna, Goa. I will take a series of local buses to be able to catch my very first sleeper bus to Kerala.
So far I have come across varied travelers and have come to find that Goa, India is a place where the Russians love to visit. Probably half of the countries within the UN are being represented by travelers to Goa this time of year. This is not hard to see why. It is India, but a much more beachy version.
I have been waking every morning at 7am to head to the beach for my morning chai (or even espresso) and a swim.
This whole process during the first 6 days has been much different than the last time. Easing out of jet lag and culture shock has been pretty smooth, and I am filled with gratitude for the travelers and locals I have come across thus far.
I eventually I will be heading north to visit the Magdum family in Sangli, to volunteer in Kolkata, and to eventually volunteer teach in Sikkim for two months. First will be some traveling in Kerala, as it is highly recommended by travelers.
More to come. Including pictures...

“India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.” Anand Singh
