Trip to India - Entry 17 - Big Plans

Today, I plan to go to the pool and to the spa. That is all. Those are my only plans. You may be jealous if you wish; I would be jealous of me if I weren’t me right now too.

My morning, I spent sleeping in, then having breakfast. After that, I helped my roommate, Juliet, get set up on Skype so she could call and talk to her family and boyfriend, then we got ready to go to the spa and have a massage – I got the massage plus mani/pedi, she just got the massage plus pedi.

I am sure there were great restorative and healing properties in this fancy wrap thingy I got – but all I know is that a) it smelled like pumpkin pie, and b) it BURNED. A LOT. I didn’t actually make it through the whole process, and had to ask her to take off the towels so I could shower earlier. Once the cooling oils were put on for the massage it was all good, and no further problems, but my poor skin was so mottled and red I was worried there would be more permanent damage, such as hives or extreme sensitivity, but there wasn’t. Juliet made it through, but Sarah also reported not being able to make it through the entire process. I am very pleased with my mani/pedi, though, way more relaxing.

For dinner, nearly the entire group went and had this amazing Thai stir fry. I have decided that I love Thai stir fry… it also didn’t turn my stomach like Indian food is now doing. Just to be random, there was whole wheat bread pudding for dessert. In the evening, we stayed in and hung out on the overlook at the water. The Arabian Sea really is quite beautiful.

My plans complete for the day, it was time for bed. I love Goa.
