Goa as a desert…

GOA … 3 letters devilishly evocative, saleswoman fantasies and which refer to the idea of a paradise–babas cool, illicit substances and orgiastic celebrations. But also hippies perched soixantenaires, a little back and frozen in their ideals and utopias « peace and love ».
In early May, I arrived at a time when A was more myth than reality. . Sorry to disillusion you from the outset.

I want a week in Europe without returning with a ton of gifts and « spices …
