My Sentiments too Joe, Well written Tony. The best years of any person is when they are a child growing up, the key being no egos , inhibitions, responsibilities........ etc. It is only relative in retrospect when we relate a child from a developed nation to an underdeveloped nation. A person who goes through life without ever tasting ice cream, chocolate bibinca, dodol, pinag and the like will never know what they missed. During my school days I spent 90% of my time in Mumbai, the rest in Goa on holidays and my college days were reversed. The best memories of my childhood were in Goa. Your narration hit the spot and could easily have been me with a few changes. Quentin

Africa was paradise for many but, on reflection, it was probably hell for the exploited indigenous population. The fact that a local brew was their stairway to heaven says it all. But beautifully written Tony, and much enjoyed. _______________________________________________ Saligao 403511 website http://saligao.goa-india.org Saligaonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goacom.org/mailman/listinfo/saligaonet Be smarter than spam.
