I have spent many years of my life living in Nepal and India and have very fond memories
of my time there. It has allowed me to study many wisdom traditions and grow as a person
and expand my perspective on many things. I have not been in India since 2007 and wanted to
revisit the country so I decided to escape the snowy Colorado winter and spend a couple months
traveling around the Southern part of the country which I haven't seen much of.

After arriving in Mumbai late morning I took a taxi straight to the historic Victoria station and was lucky to get a seat on a train leaving for Goa the next morning, was also lucky to find a decent room in a guest house near the station. I was truly exhausted after 2 days of travel, jet lag and navigating Bombay. It happened to be December 2nd which is the anniversary of the arrival of the British at the port known as India Gate. I believe this anniversary is also called Navy Day and there was a large ceremony with the Navy showing off their fleet of boats and aircraft.

After 3 days in Goa I took a train to Gokarna a few hours South down the coast and got a simple room on Kuddle beach, I also found a yoga teacher that I like and have been going to early morning classes. The town of Gokarna is a holy place and is infused with the energy of a pilgrimage site with many shiva temples and brahmin priests doing their business. I have found a good place to spend a little time.
