To Goanet - Welcome to this special cruise through concrement. On Day 1 of our excursion, we swing through the northern areas of Salcette.
First stop - the beautiful village of Arossim. I have been beating the drum of the takeover of Goa by outsiders for over a year now (the usual suspects then said I was being alarmist - they can't say that now since the carnage is so pervasive). Does anything belong to the Goans anymore? We are now trespassers in our own orchards and fields. http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/arossim-1.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/arossim-2.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/arossim-3.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/arossim-4.jpg Next stop - the village of Cansaulim. http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/cansaulim-1.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/cansaulim-2.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/cansaulim-3.jpg (Notice that the high tension line sits INSIDE the foundation! Must be a pioneering design of highly advanced Goan engineering.) I have talked about Majorda in another post today. Now to Velsao, where we see an orchard being depleted. http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/velsao-1.jpg http://www.parrikar.org/images/Salcette/velsao-2.jpg Consider this an aperitif. The main course will be served tomorrow in Colva. Warm regards, r
