Hi Annette, You were luckier than me... our 12 days in Goa flew by and although managed quite a lot, missed meeting Rico and Fr. Nasciment. Did meet Rico's dad at home though, and his new puppy!!!
As for 'forgiveness being divine....' .. I'll leave that up to the gods ;-) >From my human end, I know a typo when I see one but sometimes will use it to stir the pot! Great job on the site. It is a fitting tribute to Fr. Nascimentos beautiful and descriptive writings and Mel's illustrations add a visual flair. Kevin 2009/2/1 ANNETTE D'SOUZA <[email protected]> > > Hi there!
