To the left, the local liquor store where Martin
gets his supply of beer. To the right, Tibor is entering La
Plage (The Beach) beach shack and restaurants. Lovely place. |
 |
 |
The smoke and smell from a well stocked kitchen
was omnipresent as soon as you enter the premises. Ilana is
always in a good mood. Most pleasant woman. Seen here doodling with Tibor's
camera. |
 |
 |
The hashish restaurant where Russians was openly
smoking pot of some sorts. The ever present beach view. Goa
has in total 104 kms with beaches like this. |
 |
 |
Protective wall in front of the palm trees.
Sleeping shacks above the ground. No water, just a bed for beach bums. |
 |
 |
This is the interior. You have the essentials, a
bed and electricity. If you can live with a common shower
and toilet facilities, you can live cheap on the beaches here in Goa. |
 |
 |
For better quarters with inlaid water, you have
to come down onto the ground. You have quite a few of them.
Here you have more of them. |
 |
 |
All the pole shacks in a row. For more details,
contact Antonios Paradise, Aswem, Mandrem at +91 9822 685 641 and ask for
Nutan. He can give you prices etc. Along the beaches, you
also have some rocks at different places. |

happy with his hippie beach. |

Then it was of to
El Shaddai where Martin's two
foster kids lives. Here is tiny Anita. She such a darling
girl, only three years old and with potential. |
 |

2007. They are best friends in the orphanage and at pre-school classes. |
 |
 |
With their assistant of House of Cathleen as

Cute threesome. |

Very nice little girls. Martin hope to keep in
touch for the next 15 years. The shoes of the children. 42
children in one room sleeping on the floor requires discipline and
organization. El Shaddai has both. |

Have a look. |
