We found a fantastic driver, Dillip, who drove us all around the city and through the slums. We drove by Victoria Station (the train station shown in Slumdog Millionare), numberous temples, markets, and small roadside vendors.
We met Carmen's family and friends for lunch and had an amazing Chinese-Indian meal. After lunch, her childhood friend Karen took us to their elemtentary school. Carmen wasn't able to take any pictures with her when they moved to the US, so this is her first picture of her school with her classmate.
We also went to Pali Hill were Carmen grew up and saw the house that she grew up in. She hadn't been back to the house since her and her family left 34 years ago. It was amazing to be able to share that moment with her.
We also went to a large market where we found fruits, vegetables, spices, and pets.
After our long day, we took group picture with our favorite driver, Dillip. :)
There is so much to share and not enough time to share everything. Hopefully I'll have more time to write in Goa.
Love from everyone!
