GOA SHOPPING

Shopping in the covered market was an experience. It was huge with many many shops inside. Big enough to get totally lost.

This was just inside the door of the market.

Flower shop.

Nut and dried fruit shop.

This market was in the middle of the city and everything imaginable is sold here. We couldn't stay there long because I got very claustrophobic. . It's typical for the salesman to sit in the middle of his wears....It's like he's part of what is for sale.

All 3 couples went their own seperate ways to shop but we kept running into the Wood's. If we had wanted to find them it would not have happened. The crowds of people were one of the reasons I couldn't stand being inside that long...This place was huges with aisles and aisles of businesses.

A street scene near the covered market.

Motorcycles lined up everywhere! You'd think we were in Sturgis in August!!!

This lady was intent on selling me some anklets and bracelets! "My First Business" she would say. I don't believe it anymore....they all say "My first business."

Just outside the covered shopping of Goa this is what you find. Busy, busy streets as far as the eye can see. I love it!!! Motorcycles, cars, people, cows and workers with baskets on their heads...Everyone just moves over and makes room for everyone else. No road rage here!!!

OK....this is a truck full of dead plucked chickens. He's throwing them out of the truck into baskets just about as fast as he can throw them....And look at the eggs!!! There are a lot of people in India to feed. One thing we noticed....there are no flies.

They have the vegetable vendors on the street also.

Shoe repair anyone????

I think I'll go for the nap. Afternoon this is a common site!!
