Nostalgia Pic #7: _____________ 1969: A lovely pastel taken from mid-river, of the majestic Hotel Mandovi, almost 40 years ago.

Visit Tony's blogspot too below, he's freshly-minted memories of a long-forgotten afternoon.
One can almost hear the dulcet tones of Alfred Rose break into song "Maaan..dovi, oh Mandovi...!" - click on the photo to gently unwrap: http://2008goanconvention.com/nostalgia.php Picture: courtesy Tony Fernandes "Goa - Memories of my Homeland" (Poems & Short Stories) pub.
