Beach hut!  Note the second-story porch, outdoor shower (cold, like almost all showers in India), gigantic-leafed jungle foliage, and handmade everything. It was a sweet place to spend my birthday (thanks to Jecca for the gift!) and to recuperate from the Goa Blowa.  The monsoon rains made soporific sounds on our roof (and drowned out the noises of those ubiquitous flea-ridden dogs - except when one snuck into our bathroom - probably to steal our soap, that dirty beast).
