I hired a guide for a couple of hours to show me around Goa. Here are some pictures.
![]() My hotel offers a North India breakfast Lassi, Puri Bhaji and Coffee. I'd come to India just for the Sweet Lassi. If you don't specify otherwise, your coffee arrives with cream and sugar already added. |
![]() Here I am on a hill overlooking Old Goa. The large white structures behind me are churches. |
![]() Here's a painting of St. John that hangs in one of the churches shown above. Notice his traditional Indian Dhoti (called a "Veshti" in Tamil and a "Pancha" in Telugu and Kannada). |
This is an oil lamp in the same church as the painting to the left. Again this shows the influence of traditional India culture on the churches in Goa. |
![]() This is a typical Portuguese style building. These are common in Panaji. |
![]() Most tourists come to Goa for the water. |
