Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply. As you may/may not be aware the statement "In Portuguese times we used to sleep with windows and doors wide open..." is more often than not used to convey the fact that Goa was much safer before the "Indians" took over.
However people seem to ignore that all over the world in villages the size of Candolim (in the mid 1900's), people slept with their windows open at night. In fact I have found through my travels in India that in many villages people still sleep with their windows and doors open(weather permitting!). Enjoy your day too!
