Last month heralded a historical event in the heavens. Mars, the planet that has always fascinated us, was closest ever to the earth. The last time Mars was this close - approx. 55 million kms - from Earth was 60,000 years ago! This display will never be repeated in our lifetime. Those lucky enough to find a serious telescope saw Mars as a bright reddish disc in a moonless sky. Mars did play hooky due to the occasional monsoon cloud cover. But all in all Goa was a great location to catch this celestial event due to minimal city light illumination and virtually no pollution. An event Goa will never forget!
~ Michael Lobo This year the heat wave across Europe prompted an early migration of tourists to Goa. International news coverage showed images of men, women and children bathing in fountains and trying to keep cool. But what better way to beat the heat than come to Goa and catch the Goan monsoons on its way out. This early influx, of course, caught the local establishments a little off guard. But they're back in-step. Hotels and restaurants are back in business and the air is once again heavy with music, aromas and fun and frolic. Besides the Ganesh festival has also added its own unique flavour to the season. In keeping with the mood, we've lined up some great properties as always. Besides the property of the month, you'll find other hot properties in our Newsletter on the Web! Of course, you'll find hundreds of other on our website at www.homesgoa.com!
