------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
Quebec City one of the most beautiful in Canada, will host the International Eucharistic Congress in 2008. Personally, I am not a very religious person, but I write this post to tell worldwide Goans that if you have any plans to visit Canada in the near future, this event would be a most opportune time. If you have experienced the Panjim of Portuguese days, the little Lisbon with its Latin flavor, the ups and downs of its streets, the outdoor shopping plazas, the bistros in the center, the colonial administration buildings - then multiply that beauty by a factor of hundred thousand and you will have some idea of the nature of Quebec City. This link is to a website that describes Quebec City as well as I would like to: http://radio.weblogs.com/0117154/stories/2002/12/14/quebecCityCanada.html 8 hours drive from Toronto and 3 from Montreal, a Goan visitor to Canada for the International Congress can take in these 3 cities during this trip, not only enjoying the spectacle of this international religious gathering, but also the opportunity to be a party to the Goan community events that take place during the season in Montreal and Toronto and in between, where sizable Goan populations exist. As a bonus, Quebec City is in close proximity to the East Coast of the United States and you can include that in your itinerary as well. If any advice or help is needed to get visas, the Goa-gnatters in Toronto would be happy to help.
