Veging in South Goa, India
It took me about a week to acclimatize to being here; it’s very hot (close to 35 degrees celcius today (~95F) & that’s getting harder for me, especially when it’s humid. But perhaps more importantly, I just didn’t feel like doing the veging, holiday mindlessness after being away for 2-1/2 months already.
There’s a huge difference between volunteering & travelling & we had to adjusted to that after the 6 weeks in McLeod Ganj. But when you travel, you meet fellow travellers with shared experiences & often ideals also.
Vacationing, on the other hand is a more fixed position, if you will. Often the people at nice resorts are quite private, keeping to themselves & their families.
But after a time, we’ve found that some of our fellow guests are also, or have been travellers, & we’ve been able to share some experiences with them.
And as the days have gone on, we’ve been able to give ourselves permission to relax into the experience, to do nothing much except swim & read, & our days have developed an enjoyable rhythm to them.
