Goa New Year 2008

An overnight train trip north to Goa brought to our really relaxing destination -- this is vacation, with regularly beautiful sunsets, clean beaches.

Woodstock staff typically stay at Benaulim, a small beach town in south Goa. We rested for two weeks, recovering from colds acquired on the train -- in Barb's case, bronchitis ensued, so we got to visit the local Dr. Elvis (Mascarenhas, a good Portuguese family name) a couple of times, and then rest and relax.


Chris and Cole met some school friends at times, and we all caught up on reading.


We spent New Year's Eve down the beach with the Woodstock crowd, and fire-twirlers. We dodged the various fireworks on our walk back, though Coleman collided with an errant rocket....no scar, though, to tell his grandkids!
