anjuna market

yesterday we finally made it off of the beach and did a day trip to the anjuna wednesday market.  the first things the girls did when they hopped in the car was discover the seatbelts, an unusual sight in the backseat of most cars here.  so sweet that they wanted to put them on. made me sooo happy. but that last all of 10 minutes. then it was screaming and wailing until they were removed.  going to be fun when we get back to sweden and strap them into their carseats.  maybe we will have to start wearing head phones in the car!

the market was pretty big, and there was lots of things to look at.  zoe and eijla love the sparkles and glitter that seem to be found on nearly everything here.

the market went all the way down to the beach.  so we took a peak, but it was  nothing compared to the lovely beach we have here back at patnem, though zoe was pretty excited to have waves crash up on the rocks and spray her. eijla was not quite as excited.

then it was back up into the stalls of color and pushy sellers.  we headed up just as a cow apparently had had enough and was heading out.  zoe and thomas gave it the right of way... good idea.

we managed to find a few small things, but the big find of the day for the girls was definitely these two small "fairy wands" somebody in the tibetan market gave the girls.  they are most likely those sticks you can stick in your bun to make it stay, but they looked just liked magic wands to the girls, so that is what they are.

anyway, it was a fun little day trip, but it made us realize even more how great we have it on our little beach in southern goa.  gonna miss this place. cannot believe we are going to be back in sweden in two weeks!
