A Last Salute
Here's the guy whose job it is to guard the gates to the beach every night. This long path takes you from the village all the way down to the water, which you can see just ahead. The path is adorned with these flowering trees, which Raj keeps under tight surveillance. He charges 100 rupees if anyone picks the flowers off the trees, but they are allowed to take anything that has fallen. Sad to think we are leaving this paradise again after such a short stay.
