Yes Selma nothing beats entering your home and seeing the old walls still
strong and welcoming - its amazing how even an old door that just wouldn't
lock properly and still doesn't in spite of the best efforts of your
carpenter can be a great souvenir! To quote my friend Stacey Young from NY
who fell in love with Goa in two nanosecs - Don't call it a house Helga, its
a home!
And the wonderful people who welcome you to their homes, the teenagers who
don't think it uncool to visit older people, drink tea and chit chat with
you about outsourcing and which shops have the best salwaar. And the big
cribs/nativity scenes in every Salcete village - the joint effort of
village boys competing with the next vaddo! Check out the one at Pedda
Benaulim - my ancestral home.
When will you be home?
Helga
