Brianna is also a student from the university of Michigan who is conducting an internship this summer in India at a PHC in Delhi. She flew down to Calangute to stay with me for the weekend and we went out to a great local restaurant right on the beachfront. Souza Lobo is a famous restaurant located right on Calangute beach. It\u2019s been open since 1932 and boasts fresh caught seafood, Goan dishes, and live music every night. It was some of the best prawn curry I\u2019ve had since arriving in Goa.<\/p>\n<p>The next day we took a day trip into Anjuna. It\u2019s another costal town about 20 minutes north of Calangute and boasts some spectacular local artists and cute caf\u00e9\/boutiques. We stopped by at Artjuna for brunch \u2013it\u2019s a Portuguese styled caf\u00e9 venue that serves both local and international dishes that focus on local produce.\u00a0\u00a0 They had a shop attached that sold local artwork such as wood carved trunks, jewelry, and cloths. We spent much of the day exploring Anjuna. One of the things I adore about this place is all the lush greenery surrounding the town; it makes it feel like you\u2019re smack in the middle of a jungle and only coming upon pockets of inhabitants. I love it especially during monsoon season, when all you can smell is rain, fresh soil, and the ocean, being in Anjuna is like no other experience.<\/p>\n<p>After three months of staying in Goa, going out alone can still feel daunting, especially when you\u2019re bogged down with work and you just can\u2019t seem to get yourself out of bed on the weekends. But I\u2019m glad I got to hang out with Brianna and get to see more of Goa. It was a fun and relaxing last weekend, one that I am happy I got to share with another wolverine!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2079\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG-1370\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1370-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2080\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG-1368\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/sisablogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2017\/08\/IMG-1368-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Supposed to be posted June 15th This is my last weekend in Goa and luckily I had a visitor to share it with me!
