Louis, havent heard of you & from you in a while...now I know why! Busy with lenses, cameras - capturing everything including weddings eh? & of course busy visiting your "home".
Looks like a number of SaligaoNetters from around the world will be in Goa this summer....(heard it is exceptionally hot this year) more power to you all & enjoy your holidays, family & friends reunions, weddings, & the Feast also. Do keeps us all in your prayers on May 2nd 2010. M&M, enjoyed reading your descriptive posting with regard to the Saligao Hills, Dumps (unfortunately) & yeh the mention of various fruits found on those hills brought back vivid memories of my young days...(not childhood) and if you dont mind me borrowing your quote - a "shangrila" of adventure it was! Thanks. Cause for concern was the para on snakes losing their habitat ..so they are now writhing & slithering down the hills to the villages & the homes! Cobras are in vogue? Guess Louis & lenses will have a whale of a time. All the best!
