Palolem beach Christmas day.
Christmas eve is a big event and this staff member obviously got into
the swing of the event. Shortly thereafter, both carolyn and I were
kissed, yes kissed, by a heavt moustached and very beer smelling other
staff guy. It must have been a great party.

Apparently creating
nativity scenes is very typical. This was at the beach resort we stayed
at on Palolem Beach.

The south end of Palolem Beach.

Our beach shack
on Palolem Beach. Basic but with self contained bathroom and toilet, very
acceptable.

Even the Goan Police get into
the Christmas and New Year spirit.
