So Close And Yet So Far

When we stepped onto the beach here at Goa yesterday it was like stepping across the Indian Ocean and being home. The sea, the sand and sound of the waves. As I swam I thought about how easily I could be at Takapuna with my family rather than here in India.

The proximity of our departure adds to the general feeling. In some places Goa looks and sounds like home and home is so close time wise that it's really starting to hurt here. This morning has been heartbreaking, waiting for another day to end so I can check off another day until I get home. In some respects I've found this last 24 hours in Goa some of the hardest of the trip so far. I think I might be homesick...?
