Playing Tourist in Panjim

Monday, 29 July

Today was all about playing tourist in Panjim.. full on cameras around the neck, guide book out, and shopping for little knick knack presents to take home.  Here are a handful of my favorite pics from the day.. 

There is a new Ganesh Temple just down the street from the apartment.. and across the street from the bus stop- we have been saying that we need to check it out since arriving, and today was the day :)

The temple had a gorgeously carved set of front doors.. 

 with the coolest door handle... 

 and very cool statues all along the rooftop..

 and fun little friends around the temple.. 

After hopping on the bus we made our way down to the market- pretty much anything you want to consume was sold here, from food (fish, veggies, chickens- live and dead etc) to clothes, bangles and so much more!

I mustache you a question..... (heh.. sorry, couldn't help myself :)  

Here's a shop woman with a million bangles putting a set on to Eveline's arm.. just after she was able to jam a couple dozen onto my wrist..

which basically looked like.. and I quote Eveline on this one.. "a drag queen threw up all over my hand"

OK seriously!?  Texas!?  I could not bring myself to go in...

Street food is all over here, as well as a few rays of sunshine.. the first I've come across pretty much the entire time I've been here!

Safety first... 

All in all it was a really beautiful day, and it was fun to have no schedule, agenda or anything to do other than explore :)
