Mariaelena and Hotel Palindrone

We were invited to our landlady's lovely house for lunch today but arrived a bit late due to getting lost.  We met Vijay and Cheryll, their ex military friends.
Kamal had prepared a delicious lunch of prawn curry, ladies fingers, rice, chicken and cheese, lasagna, curd and naan.  During the meal I was inquiring about bridge and Cheryll mentioned neighbors who play. A quick phone call and it was arranged for tomorrow.

We revisited the Art Chamber with Philip and Carol, to hear talented Mariaelena Fernandes, Indian origin Austrian, play classical and improvised piano with a talented Austrian folk heritage group playing as many as 20 different instruments. The unlikely combination made our feet tap and our ears tingle with delight for almost two hours! 


The Art Chamber is one of the places to see and be seen in North Goa. There's a whole mix of Goans, English, German, Austrian, French and Bombayites some dressed to the nines and others in shorts.  We look forward to attending more concerts next year.
