So the journey continues! After a long 12 hr overnite train from kerela, I finally arrived to the sunny infamous land of laid back, hippie,and free love (think 60's era with a twist of spirituality and style). And what better way to welcome me than my hotel throwing a "trance " valentines day party! Yes, upon arrival i was greeted by saying there was going to be a "white" party that evening with 200 people!! The only info I was given that white wardrobe was mandatory!
Ugh, I didn't have many options (white not being the most practical color to bring on a 4 month trip), wishing it could have been a black party I would have been set! Not to mention, this party was supposed to be "THE" party of the season with a very exclusive invite only guest list! So I managed to put together something halfway decent (luckily accessories didn't fall under the color mandate) and was ready to experience the "trance" party that I have heard so much about. Just to be clear...the owners of YogaMagic (where I am staying) are a young hip british couple and most of the guests at the party were europeans that spend the season every year in Goa (think Ibiza with a more hippy. spiritual vibe).
All I can say is "WOW"!!!!!!! I felt like I was watching a movie or something. The people coming in were all gorgeous, scantily dressed, yoga perfect tanned bodies. Yes, a bit intimidating for the "not so fit", white, heavily clothed ( i was wearing a white tank top and white skirt, but that was a lot of clothing compared to most of the women there) american!!
It was truly a fascinating scene to watch!! I was in stimulation overdrive...looking at everything!! Did I mention it was an "alcohol free" party???? However, there where other types of mind altering products going around:-)
So that was the start to my week long experience in Goa.....
Namaste,
Dayna
