It's getting hotttterrrrr!! We're coming into summer/ monsoon season soon and it's so humid. My towel never dries.. Constantly damp.
On Saturday I got an ayurvedic yoga massage... It was so crazy! I layed on the floor on a mattress and the lady used her hands and feet (she was standing on me) to massage my deep muscles- I'm pretty sure she was massaging my bone marrow it hurt so much. And then she stretched all my muscles and joints... again soo painful. The nice part was at the beginning she used coconut oil and an Indian exfoliant- it made my skin feel so soft!
We had Saturday night and Sunday off. A bunch of us walked to a popular French restaurant called La Plage. The reception guy said it was a nice 10 minute walk... In Goa that means an hour haha. We were giving up hope that it existed but we found it and it was well worth it. Amazing food and a really cool ambience. It was on the beach with cool silk tent areas. I had a cedar salad with tofu for appetizer and an amazing piece of tuna with wasabi mashed potatos and chocolate cake for dessert. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. All that for only $20, which for India standards is insanely expensive but when put into perspective it's really good.
Sunday we chilled on the beach- I didn't get as burnt this time!! Then me and 2 girls walked to Arambol which is a 45 minute walk north. It's a major hippy town- one of the first hippy settlements in Goa. There was a row of really cool artisans with homemade jewelry and crafts and then all the typical India shops. So much to look at/ browse. We're gonna go back next week and buy a few things.
We're back at it now... Yoga, learning to teach and anatomy... And chanting... Andddd sweating!
Missing everyone. <3
(the Internet situation here is really unpredictable. Ashiyana usually doesn't work so I walk a bit down the beach...)
