A walk to work in Goa


Don hat and sunglasses against 90 degree heat....say good-bye to cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and chickens at house....

 walk up hill...

pass daily dozens of supplicants standing outside wall of minister's house hoping for audience....withstand inevitable stares at two odd white people walking by....

acknowledge neighborhood street pig...commiserate about her piglet that was run over the day before....


walk by candy shack....

  
say hi to my hindi-speaking friend (my destination in the background)...


 avoid traffic!....

pass mysterious egg tree....

note "Fuller" brush man has set up in town today.....

 almost to work...one last hill, the one where you finally break into an open sweat....
