Off to Goa!

Tomorrow morning will see us driving through the NH-4 towards Dharwad, and then towards Karwar (sea-port) and to Goa.
It's been a hectic 4 weeks with lots of travelling for ministry purposes; but the next 2 weeks of travelling to & fro and in Goa, is going to be a lot more relaxing.

The Preacher's Workshop went well. Thanks to all those who prayed.
When the dates were set, we didn't realize it clashed with the Dussehra holidays in the South & the Puja holidays (commemorated at the same time, all over the country). Since the dates were set, we couldn't change it. So, the entire time the kids had holidays from school, I was busy with the workshop.

The kids were not happy initially about it, but were more than happy, when they realized they were going to get extra 2 weeks off from school, after their 'official' break.

The kids are really looking forward to this trip and have their own plans and agendas as to what they want to be doing while we are there - some joy-rides on the horse back on the beach; playing along the coast; ...

Visiting Goa during this season is ideal. The weather is good (i mean, not that hot!), and virtually no crowd in the beach. It's very relaxing.

We will be in Goa until the 22nd or the 23rd of October.

During our stay there, Carmen's mum will undergo a minor surgery in her eye, which she had been wanting to do for a long time now.

Pictures & other news will follow upon our return.
Cheers!
