A tourist who traveled to Goa
contracted some mean protozoa.
Claimed she got it in a cave,
but "more likely at a rave,"
said those who recall that girl from Goa.

Hindu temples are ubiquitous throughout India, but in Goa they tend to be overshadowed by massive Christian churches and cathedrals. (Despite the fact that Christians only make up about a quarter of the Goan population while Hindus make up about 2/3rds.)  This was one of the more prominent Hindu temples we saw. It’s located in Old Quarter.
