Dear Goanetters, I returned from my vacation just yesterday. This is to thank you for your appreciation messages posted on Goanet/sent to me directly while I was on vacation. I am overwhelmed with the love and support extended to me by my Goan brothers and sisters from different parts of the world. God bless you all.

Please, someone please tell me what is the difference between the 'bullock cart' and the 'gaddo'!!! Gaddo and bullock-cart are same. However, what Peter probably refers to is the "gaddi", the "boilanchi-gaddi": It was a quaint wooden box on "gaddo" wheels and pulled by a pair of oxen. Garishly painted, with tiny windows and entrance from the rear, it was very convenient "sossegado" mode of travel, but exclusively, within Bardez. Nowhere else, in Goa, was it known. By a considerable stretch of imagination, it was a remote cousin of the "fiacre". In our property, in Paliem, Uccassaim there were at least a dozen of them with, everyday, one on duty for the use of inmates of our house, for church, "tintó" and visiting purposes. Pity, not even a single one exists. I tried to get one. Alfred de T. _ On the road to retirement?

A bullock cart moves. A gaddo stands still selling beedis, Charminar and ladoos! B. Colaco === --- Salus Correia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I am confused, poor me!
