A few more pics from Agonda and nearby Chowdie

Well, not in Agonda now.  In fact, we've been in Mumbai for a few days and are now heading in the early morning for Ahmedabad in Gujerat.
I will fill this entry out later, when I get a bit of time, but just wanted to get some pics up while I could (internet, as usual, is spotty at best).
Please click on the pics to embiggen!

First, some pics from the market at Chowdie.

 

A couple of pics fromAgonda

Bringing and stacking dried fishing nets back on to a boat for the next morning fishing.

Back in Agonda!

I've been here for about a week now, and have been burning out the cold in this lovely Goa coastal jewel.  There are more businesses than last year (there are more every year it seems), but it looks like fewer foreign tourists on the beach.
It's been quite lovely hanging out with the usual crowd, eating some fabulous food, baking in the sun and giving our New Zealand friend Charles an intro to India.
Secret Garden is, as usual, fabulous, and I've lucked out with a great hut looking out over the ocean (thank you Godwin!).
I'll add some more pics later, as I've been too busy lazing around, yakking with the friends, hanging around on my big balcony, and not even taking that many pics (for me).

Here are a few:

The ladies that go up & down the beach cleaning up.  A rare sight in other parts of Goa, but this is Agonda!
