What a perfect day! The setting here at Gokarna is ideal, a small town full of religious pilgrimage sites right on a sandy beach. A series of volcanic cliffs seperate another four beaches all within walking distance. With nice sunny weather and sea breezes I spent the entire day alternating between hiking and swimming and resting on the sand or in temples, eating fruit and snacks. To end the day, I just watched the sun set from a panoramic perch high above the sea and sand. I really wish you all could have been here to share it with me!
This was the best way to end my tour of South/Central India. As some of my blog followers have gently reminded me, the whole purpose of my journey to India was to get some dissertation research done, so this is the Southern terminus of my trip. As I lay under the fan in my bungalow attic room tonight, I will plan a quick (quick in terms of India!) route North towards my field sites.
