The diocese is restoring a large church in Old Goa as a convention center. The three million dollar project has been entrusted to Arsenio Associates. A structural engineer, Arsenio walked me around the site and showed me the mixer that ground together jaggery and lime to replicate the the structure's original wall coating compound. I suggested a hint of yeast for a well inhaled ride during those long painful sermons.
