Andrew made us some eggs for breakfast, then Ben and I went to the skate park for about 45 minutes.

Cool park
Lots of little tree houses by the skatepark
Then we headed back to Primrose to get directions to another skatepark in Goa: the Shiva Palace Skatepark, which was about 30 minutes away. It was a big, pink, dirty, bowl, but Ben liked it a lot. Some kids watched Ben skate for a few minutes and then asked if they could try it! They just kind of messed around on the board, and even though they didn’t totally get the hang of it, they were laughing and enjoying it. We hopped in the water at Morjim Beach, then laid on the beach chairs at the Larisa Beach Resort, hahah. We discovered that there was a Domino’s Pizza close by, so we went and got a hot cheese pizza! It was very exciting to eat something that we'd eat at home, and it wasn't too bad!

Returning
Back at Primrose, Ben dreaded pretty much my whole head and it doesn't look too bad! I haven't washed my hair at all this whole trip, so it was dreading a bit on its own... For the past few weeks, there’s been a ban on alcohol because the elections have been going on (they know no one will pay much attention to it, but if they ban alcohol/bars, they know people will). Andrew and Christo said they were expecting quite a few people to come for food/drinks, and if we wanted to help out behind the bar they'd let us stay the night for free! Probably 30+ people showed up, I'm not sure how many that is compared to a bar in the states or around here, but I thought it was awesome. We poured shots, opened bottles, took money, etc. for about an hour and a half until some Indian guys who worked for Andrew at Primrose showed up, and Christo said that he could take it from there. They open the "club" and were playing music. Ben and I danced for a little, but he went to bed early. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and we met a lot of people.
Ben + his babies (Royal Enfield and Cholo)
Dreadful
Dancing!
Late in the night, one of the Indian workers in the kitchen told me him and some of his friends were going to Baga Beach to look at the stars and invited me with them. I hopped on the back of the motorcycle with him and his friend for 20 minutes. We didn’t go to a beach, but instead to his friends "bachelor party"? To my understanding (explained through drunk/broken English), he was getting married the next day and they were partying. It was really weird and none of them could speak English, so I ended up just hanging out while they got drunk hahaha. We walked to a 24 hour shop, and they purchased more beers, but when we returned there were some guys there looking for the guy who'd invited me originally. He owed them money or something, so I had to take all the beer back into the kitchen of the bar while they all talked with the (angry) guys. The friend who came with us told me I should stay in the courtyard because it could get ugly, and he didn't want me to somehow get hurt. About an hour later, we started on our way back home but ran out of gas! Of course there wasn’t an open gas (petrol, as they call it) station nearby, so he just kept trying to start the motorcycle and eventually we found somebody who gave us a ride to a petrol station on their motorcycle and they filled up a water bottle with enough gas to get us back to Primrose. We got home at 6 AM. It was very annoying honestly. The guy who took me on the adventure told me not to mention anything to Andrew hahahah
