Talking Photos: Feast at Calvim Today we went for the Calvim Feast.
Calvim is near Aldona. It’s about 10kms from Mapusa. Local bus fare is about Rs.8. Whereas, motor Cycle pilot will charge Rs.100 We hired two and save 100 on Taxi. To reach Calvim, one has to take a ferry at Carona. However, coming from Pednem, Bicholim etc one can come via Mayem/Lake. Calvim too has many old houses with its own separate drinking water wells. Late Tiatrist JP Souzalim is from Calvim His house is near the Calvim church just 5 minutes walk. His house is now sold to a foreign party. Ferry crossing distance is so short that it takes less than 2 minutes to reach the other end. I think I had a video on this plus pics about 2 years ago Here it is 4in1 pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk8/1293860858/sizes/l/ video clip – Ferry crossing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwRMSqbYopU Today the villagers celebrated the feast of St. Sebastiao, normally the feast day is January 20 don’t know why it is in May month in Calvim There is a football match today.
