After the first few days in Agonda I moved into a three bedroom flat with Joanna who I met in Mysore and her friend Laure who came to visit for a couple weeks. Both are tall, smart, gorgeous women from Switzerland. They speak English with me but are used to speaking in French together. So I am listening and learning and sometimes Laure gives me vocab lessons. I feel incredibly blessed to spend so much time in their company.
Our flat is cuuuuute! I wish it could be my house back in the states. It's got cool marble floors, a pink and blue banister surrounding the sweet covered porch, a small kitchen, and a balcony out back where you can glimpse the ocean and hear the waves. We make amazing fruit salads with muesli or granola for breakfast and eat them out in the breeze. Downstairs our landlords are a quiet old fisherman who sits cross legged repairing his nets in the afternoon and his absolutely gorgeous wife who gives the warmest smiles.
In a couple days I fly out of Goa to Delhi and from there I'm headed to Rishikesh to study with another certified ashtanga teacher named Louise Ellis for the month of March. I have absolutely loved being part of this slow little beach town and now I'm excited for the change of pace and some fresh scenery. But one thing I know for sure is that I'll miss this flat and these lovely women.
