Utorda Beach...
We watched the beach parasailing in operation, complete with an acrobatic "guide" who maneuvered the chute.
There are a number of beach shack restaurants along the beach and we'd been told Zeebop is one of the best.
You can't say the seafood isn't fresh, and Zeebop, although not cheap by Indian standards, lived up to its good reviews in Trip Advisor and Frommers. We did take a pass on the shark.
Lunch is delicious.
Now it's time to walk it off and to take a couple more photos.
One last little detail - during our stay we noticed quite a few signs in Russian. Apparently Goa is a popular and affordable vacation spot for members of the growing Russian middle class, as noted here. It looked lovely to us. Given the winter climate of Russia, it must be heaven on earth for them.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
