DAY 209 - VAGATOR BEACH



DAY 209) SUNDAY, 22 JANUARY 1978 : 0KMS. - VAGATOR BEACH


We went out to the Hippies Sunday (flea) market  at ANJUNA beach, all hippies dressed normally  and did not walk around naked as they usually did on the beach.

Many hippies were selling their goods like their own used articles and food like cake and  bread. I did not quite understand  whether it was  just for fun  or to earn their living while staying in GOA.

Besides of  hippies, there were many Indians who came to seek for articles of their interests, products from Europe.  It seemed  like an annual fair as there were  many people  packed  up as well as  foreign travelers.

At this flea market today, we met  our French friends, a couple whom we had known in Iran. The  hippies market was likely to be on every Sunday, which became the venue of the hippies weekly meeting.  They came from  nearby  beaches  or even from remote beaches in GOA.

Looking toward the beach, I did not see many people swimming in the sea.  However,  no one put a bathing suit on but swimming yet naked as fun as ever and they seemed not to care to the eyes of people wearing clothes visiting the market.

    Hats off to the author for sharing their fascinating journey on the Hippie Trail to India in 1977! Their vivid storytelling and personal anecdotes brought that era to life. In my business, I empower individuals in India to rent their own car, allowing travelers to experience the freedom and adventure of the open road.
