Anjuna to Arambol and back again

So I ventured out of the lovely little nook I have found in Anjuna. I have actually settled in to a bit of a routine. And if anyone knows Anjuna they would underatand how bizarre my little life might seem. Anjuna is know as a meeca for Trance music and people come to Anjuna from around the world to party. The funny thing is I haven't been out since New Years. I've been doing yoga and reading and enjoying the beach and the fresh fish that is 150 rupees a plate ($3). Oh and my roomates are just wonderful. We had the best time the other night at the night market. I've already given you the low on Lu.So now for a bit on the lovely Englishman John who has driven his car from England to here. It's been very refreshing to be around someone I feel completely myself with. He is writing a book about this trip, so he's always taking notes about all of the crazy and ridiculous scenerios that we see. Like today there was this scene with a ear cleaner, which is a job in India. And John goes down to talk to the ear cleaner and the ear cleaners victim or client. He was offered an apprenticeship as an ear cleaner. Oh how I would take such pleasure in coming back to Goa and seeing John sticking needles and cotton into the ears of tourists.....The John and Lu combination has been just right. Well so I spent the last few days with some friends up in Arambol. Friends I met in Varanasi. Arambol is a bit up the coast, perhaps 20 minutes by motorbike, and has been considered the quieter get away place in North Goa....but the thing about Arambol is that everyone seems to have flocked to it, so it's not so quiet. There seems to be a younger crowd there and lets see how can I say this. I had a great time in Arambol. Really loads of fun and really good, kind, happy people. But I guess I am just in such a different place then the scene that was in Arambol. At one time I would have felt like I had found heaven....but you know the world is so subjective and what satisfies you today can seem so superfluous the next. I am in such a different place. I guess I have found some satisfaction in my spirit and even though I am by no means a zealot I have settled in to a sweet little life that is fullfilling my simple needs. Or maybe I'm just getting old. And so I am back in Anjuna. Enjoying a new book and I will be starting a fruit juice cleanse in two days which will last for five days. And if anyone has advice on cleanses please drop me a line. These are the kind of things I enjoy now. Spliffs and Chillums all day just doesn't really do it for me anymore. So many of the people I'm meeting are a bit younger then me and just on a different trip. But this trip is not over and there are so many other trips and turns it could take....and I'm not soooo old. And I am in Goa so we'll see what stories arise next. As they say in India "Sub Kuch Milega" or "Anything could Happen" so we will see.
