Goa is great, Goa is good

OK, so here are some of my pics from Goa. I stayed at Baga beach, in a little room at a guest house that cost less than $10 per night. Typical day was sleeping in, reading Shantaram (check it out), eating wonderful seafood masala, getting some sun, and hiking around to other beaches and sites, including Old Goa. This city used to house 200,000 people and rival European cities. Due to malaria and cholera it was emptied, but the churches remain. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Cliff's Beach Shack - in a little cove on the headland between Baga and Anjuna Beaches.

The Royal Enfield - bike of choice in this area


Bom Jesus in Old Goa - contains the remains of St. Francis Xavier, one of the first Jesuits


Church of St. Francis of Assisi


Inside Se Cathedral - the largest church in Asia
