Sai Valentines

Ding! 9pm - why did I go to bed so early?.. 12:30am try to get a little more sleep... From 4:30 - 6:30am I lay in bed starring at this mold stained mosquito net!

I decided at this point to get up and check out the beach. OMG! The beach is absolutely beautiful! It is 3km long and in an alcove with palm covered out crops at each end. I walked from one end to the other and decided at this point that I made the right decision to park in Agonda.

Agonda is a small village with one road, no buses and tourism is it's main occupation. Due to the small size I was not quite sure if I could stay put for over a week - well after one day I am already starting to see a pattern... more on that later!

After my walk I went hunting for an internet place and as I was leaving I noticed the property sign lying on the ground waiting to be put up - the beach communities in Goa dismantle everything each year before the monsoon and then rebuild again in late November for the start of the tourism season. I guess I was so tired when I arrived that I thought I was staying at Little Italy but I am actually staying at Sai Valentines and Little Italy is the restaurant at the huts!

Here are my diggs for the next week or so! Pretty cute hey?!
The hut is so large I had to go into the bathroom to get this shot!
The rest of the day was spent relaxing at the beach and it felt sooooo good! Stay tuned...

Hey Tracy,
Sounds like you're having a great time. How are the nights there? Where are you eating? Is the food good? When are you starting your yoga?
Love you,
Emma and Adam xoxo

Love that hut. Mosey Burns(Murrin) had one like up in the woods behind Rodger P in S'ville. Hope your tea burn is ok. A pic of the beach would be nice. Take care.

LOVE the hut! Need a pic of you in the hammock with a fancy drink with an umbrella in it. Do they have those drinks where you're staying??? Somehow, I think not. Love you, miss you and still want a hammock pic! One with you and a brown boy in the hammock would be especially fun! hehehe
