For our last excursion of the trip, we went to the Panaji area of Goa. This area still feels like you could be in Portugal rather than India.

Even the cats act European -- pampered pets rather than skittish street-savvy strays.
This was one of 4 nearly-identical cats (of at least 3 generations) at this house. |

I tried to pull off a sari for the evening's closing dinner. |
It was really nice to read you blog and very good pictures. Hotels in Panaji offer a warm welcome to all the visitors coming all year round to this sizzling city.
