As soon as I stepped out of the airport in Goa, I was handed a chilled beer. It was mid-day, and I figured I still had a lot to learn, seeing as this was my first time visiting Goa.
"Really?" My companions could not quite believe the fact that I had never visited Goa before. The over an hour-long drive to the hotel gave us time to get acquainted with each other. The sudden spike in temperatures after the gloom and chill of Delhi in December took a little adjusting to. But once we were on our way and the sunny Goan skies opened up to us, it was the perfect way to ginger up the group.
