Anjuna Times

Beachside fireworks
every direction rains light
Hello sparkly year!

Is this India?
White guy:dreadlock ratio -
out of control

Play the accent game
Europeans and Russians
Few Americans

Chapati expert
First: looked like Massachusetts
Now: Like a housewife's

''Please come see my shop.
Not Now? Promise come later.
All 50 Rupees''

Cooked-in bananas!
Judge a restaurant by oatmeal
Make sure I come back

Every day routine
with paints on the beach by four
There until sunset

I almost gave up
Van Morrison saved my soul.
Head bobs, move brush.

No violence allowed
Sara's bike recovery...
Still OK to chase

Cook tater subjee
Nah. Mashed is so much better.
Sara's still happy.

I'm not gonna shave
My new year's resolution
World Beard Champion

Beard's comin in thick -
Santosh says I'm Wolverine.
Mom, I still love you.

Anjuna market
Diagnosed with ADD?
Don't even go near.

My vision becomes sharper
All thanks to morning headstands
and eating veggies.

''Own thing Arambol''
Swing your arms any which way
No one even looks

We might be hippies...
we don't look like trance dance kids
such a compliment

Haven't given in
to patch pants and peacock tees
Stickin' with Bob Ross

I should eat my foot
Fanny packs are cool again
(only in Goa)

German Bakery
Where all the cool kids relax
Not in the guide books

Are you Israeli?
A frequently asked question.
It's the beard and curls

I've got solid poos
Practically unheard of here,
most of all, Goa.

Notes:
Chapati - a type of Indian bread - similar to Naan, but cooked on a stove rather than in an Oven

Subjee - think thick spaghetti sauce with any combination of veggies (or meat in others cases) and spices that can be eaten on its own or mixed in with rice. A main dish.

Santosh - Sara's yoga teacher

Bob Ross - famous artist and PBS TV host - and his face is on one of my two tee shirts.
