Talking Photos: Fort Aguad, its lower forts, Light House, Central Jail, Two colour Sea Water, River Princess etc etc
..and I thought (and I am sure most of you) that Fort Aguad means either the one with the light house (Aguad Foler), see Pic 1 & 2 or the one near the Aguad Beach resort (see pic 3). On 10th August, when we went to visit the Central Jail Prisoners (a report coming soon), we also had an opportunity to visit the Simquerim Church (Feast of St.Lawrence whose pic appeared in my prev. talking photos August month memory) and then the other forts in its vicinity. Our visit to the lower forts purely accidental, as we were curious as to know where other tourists were heading to from Pic 3. We loved it so much that we have planned a whole day picnic there soon. The view is superb, see pics. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk4/217034589/ View larger pic here for reading text etc http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=217034589&size=l Did you know ? One can start his journey/walking/trekking from below the Light House pic 1 & 2 and come out on Pic 3 (main road near hotel) or vice versa. You will come across all the lower forts plus beautiful view of Campal, Miramar, Donapaul, Vasco etc etc. The whole journey might take about an hour (not suitable for children & older people). However, from pic 3 thru Pic 12 it would take about 30 minutes one way. Government/tourism dept. should provide easy access to all people young and old by providing hand rails etc for safety reasons. Also, the man-made walking paths should be developed for the benefit of all. Would appreciate, if any one could throw more light on this subject matter. Home Work: 1.Observe carefully pic No. 10. Why you think the sea water has or appear to have two different colours ? 2.See Pic 4. How long the boat (in the background) been there and why ? 3.See Pic 4 & 5. How many such lower forts are there, you think ? 4.All such lower forts are built on rock. True or False ? Imp: Those who come back without doing their home work will be made to kneel down on 'Nachina' or 'Nachonnem' or 'fator' (stones)as punishment or '100 Kanbotte' or 'pandam eusor lingttea ou peri-boddiecho mar' [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ Konkani Songs, Goan Photos, Tiatr/Film VCDs, Bank interest rates etc etc (for updates etc click below) http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/files/ ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo!
