Sounds like Maxi had a better time in Cardiff than in Boston. Cardiff looks like a great place and I vote that we have our sixtieth reunion in cardiff.

Hey Raphael,
Boston was no less enjoyable, rest assured.... as indeed the report on my visit to yours had so euphorically recorded. Its however just a matter of narrative, maybe I am guilty of not having done enough justice to Boston - but have always intended to go back to the Blog and do some appropriate editing which will satisfy both you and me!
Also, each place has its highlights and high points - and Boston is a great city which I feel I have not done justice to in terms of - be it sight-seeing and other attractions! I believe it does demand more time than I could allocate during my visit - so I will take it as there's always a next time!
And remember, my report on Tessie's beef dish and masala powder did elicit queries from interested parties...
Arun and I did a bit of work too, in the matter of concretizing plans for action as regards the Reunion, as regards contacting the next of kin of those departed, printing of booklet, and so on...
As we did from your place, we were also able to get across to and speak to some of our classmates or their families - and such who have hitherto not been responding or silent on the Re-union call -- about which I will be prudent for the present and write only at the appropriate time...
I am so grateful that I could visit Boston and Cardiff - not very sure I will have similar opportunities to visit other places too or other classmates; like I do believe, many others are already doing.... like Peter fruitfully utilizing his frequent visits to Mangalore; like Sigismond making trips to Bangalore to meet Leo and Hector; like Leo showing so much initiative on a variety of areas and reaching out to fellow classmates with visits too - to Hector, the proposed visit to Sigi's near Palya/Hassan and Mangalore, etc etc... Like from all the earlier narratives we have learnt how Harry has been such a centri-focal figure and force for everyone to visit anf enjoy hospitality of... etc etc
And believe me, I hope and look forward to your own and others' visits to Delhi - if not only to visit me, but at least enroute to see the Taj Mahal in Agra... let's hope I am not found wanting...
Cheers... and warm regards,
Maxie
