Mangalore - Too much food!

Mangalore is the home to Junita’s niece Ragini, her husband Jacob and the 2 daughters Leah and Sofia. It was clear that we will pass by during our India trip and had the luck that Junita’s son Arun and his fiancée Alison stopped at the same time.
Mangalore is 900km south of Mumbai at the West coast of India.
So we had time to enjoy great hospitality, food, sunsets and more. We didn’t see any other western person here. Ragini and Jacob took us to the “hidden gems” of Mangalore to enjoy great food.
One high light was for sure the visit of the Church of the St. Aloysius College in Mangalore. So we could see the fresco decoration of the Jesuit brother Antonio Moscheni (Stezzano, 16 January 1854 – Kochi, 15 November 1905) which were made between 1899 and 1902. Moscheni covered walls, ceilings and pillars with framed, vivid tableaux on the life of St Aloysius Gonzaga (the patron saint of the college), other Jesuit missionaries, saints and martyrs and the mysteries of the Christian faith (the Trinity, Christ and his Mother). It was also a great way at the time to show the story of the Bible on the wall of the church.
And the beaches were outstanding and empty!Read more
