Message-ID: <a76e8f3f-cf97-4cc8-844a-5f91d34d4...@gmail.com> You state that <<<<After the sun was set, did it really matter to Alfonso Albuquerque that the maidens were fair or dark? I am sure he ran out of choices sometimes which explains that in most aristocratic Goan families with fair daughters you will always find one who is darker than the night.>>>>> Very well put Roland. I consulted by uncle on Mars, (as you know this Admiral was in Goa more than four centuries ago ) My Uncle on Mars said that as far as he can remember there were whispers, then some activity lots of moans, sighs and even a scream or two. Yes centuries later there is enough evidence in Goa and elsewhere in the world I am just wondering why so little is written about that other Admiral called Vasco de Game ....Towns are named after him, he extended the Portuguese Empire beyond all dreams ....he seemed more sober than Admiral Albuquerque.
