hardly moved and patient model 29 March, 2014 'Baba cafe', Hampi, India

No name goat. He got no name. When Ivan and me was looking for a restaurant after riding motorbike in awfully hot weather, someone recommended us 'baba cafe' near the river and in addition he said that there is a boat there. We expected to have a nice lunch on the boat but only a goat on the yard instead of it. Nice Thali meal on the goat! a sketch diary made of the day's all events. a Mouth harp, Timo's cat, Banana peels turned into the goat's poo, lanterns in my favorite restaurant, day and night. — in Hampi, India. 29 March, 2014
