I'm staying with my mom in Nandangadda near Karwar. Occassionally Im going to goa to meet friends who come down from Mumbai, but thing is they tend to come on the same long weekends so Im splitting time between the two groups, going from the beach to the hotel lol. I just hop on to the bus and go.
On the off days, I have no work, so Im spending the time exploring the local areas. I just get down from the bus on any stop I feel that are interesting. Have explored old Portuguese mansions, houses, hotels and other structures that are too dilapidated to make any sense of. Been a good month for urban exploration.
Typically after all the walking around, exploring and photographing, Im tired out, so have been diving into the local bars. The locals are friendly and share stories easily, though they tend to get bombed after a few drinks and just start laughing at any old thing.
One of the times, the bar was empty, so I just grabbed a four pack of Kingfishers (It's only the tourist-y parts of Goa that Kings is popular, everywhere else the staple is Kingfisher strong) and headed to an old Portuguese mansion to soak in the environment. There were some thirsty local residents there, that I felt sorry for, and got water for. But they preferred the beer too lol.
