Milena Velba & Miosotis Jpeg Free

first motorcycle tour =)


This week, it worked with the bike at last purchase, so I am now the proud owner of a 200cc Enduro. Since motorcycles are also very cheap here, I can not afford this.
There is now very hot again in that I have the same time made a small tour and explore the area. Now I'm glad I went for an off-road model, as soon as you a few miles into the country goes, the streets are only of red soil, sand and potholes. When I
sichtetet in the distance a small mountain range, I took me to climb before the summit =) For this I went on small paths, meadows, forests Mango uphill. Damn high fun factor! In between I've done in a few Cocopalmen a break, I picked fresh lemons and mandarin oranges that grow wild everywhere, and Tereré drunk. Damn solid. After a while, I came across a locked gate of a cattle pasture. After brief reflection, I opened it and I kept going. A few minutes later I came across 3 workers, like the mango trees have to sell the wood (as I learned later). I had already shit that they scare me down from the pasture. Instead I was friendly Welcomes and I was offered a first Tereré. Joa, I had to squat down first with the three of them and tell them where I come from and what I am doing here then. And I also learned that the three were Grandpa, father and son. Then they showed
me how to eat properly and showed me the Cocofrüchte a path on which one comes up to the top of the mountain. As this was very steep, however, I had to continue on foot. On this short walk through the pampas of Paraguay, I saw monkeys and giant butterflies. The nature here is really impressive! Once at the top
offered to me then a really cool view of the surroundings. After that I have enjoyed a round of Tereré, I set back on the descent. The three men are still invited me to come again and waved me then yet.

Yesterday we have invited all Cantera children to us and with them held a games afternoon. Then the new timetables distributed to our tutoring, Rivka and I have developed the new. In the future we want to teach the children mainly in mathematics, English, computer and Castellano.

We also had the idea to offer a shadow theater project. About 2-3 months we will rehearse and perform a shadow play this then Ipacaraí. In addition, we do with the children on computer Designing posters and hang them in the environment to make the demonstration carefully. After the show we want to sell homemade Chipas and Panchos and the proceeds then with the children something. A zoo in Asunción or the like, as most children have never been here from the environment came out.
Vamos a ver, even if everything works the way we imagine the ... ;-)

meantime, we have already established a few contacts with Paraguayans. The last two weeks we have made it so that we have spent Friday night in Asuncion, stayed there in the morning and then directly into the language course. Also tomorrow Evening we have an appointment with a few Paraguayans in a karaoke bar.

Fuerza Paraguay!

For his birthday we gave Nico a ticket for the World Cup qualifying match between Argentina and Paraguay, where we were last night in Asuncion. And of course, Paraguay has also earned 1-0 win! I'm looking forward to the finals Paraguay-Alemania. Otherwise

is again something happened. Oh man, time flies so damn fast. Meanwhile, I'm already a half months here in South America, while it seems to me like 2 weeks ...

Last weekend, we are following the course a bit by Asunción strolled and came across a slum district. Correct blatant ... stand on one side of the street huge, beautiful government buildings and 20m towards spreading along the Río Paraguay a slum: the houses are mostly made of boards, tarps, plastic bags and corrugated iron. sewage systems or running water are not.

on the streets, which are leading in this area policemen with bullet-proof vests and guns. As we got closer, they have required us to walk again, because it was too dangerous there.

Poverty is also evident on the streets, as we did last week after a reggaeton concert at night with By car from Asunción went home, ran through the traffic lights at children aged 5-10 years, perhaps between the cars and sold Chipas (the typical Paraguayan bread) or toys. And mothers with babies in their arms begging for Monedas.

But now to something more positive things. This week we started the guest house and the training rooms to be deleted. The guest house is rented out from time to time in order to earn some money. The classrooms were sponsored by Gustav-Adolf-Werk and built recently. In this we do in the future, computer and sewing classes for young people and women in this offer from the "La Cantera" area.

Even with the Paraguayan Fauna I had contact. I had the honor to host already 3 Pikes. They are lousy little sand fleas that embed themselves in the foot, preferably next to the Fußzehnagel. There, they put you up in the skin eggs hatch after a few weeks so sweet little Pikes. Luckily I have my notes early on, so I Teresa (a Paraguayan woman from here) I could remove easily with a lemon sting.

Sodele, then I will now again devote to painting. Where you have to unpack since yesterday's storm back long dress. Tonight it was 9 degrees in winter! Winter strikes back ..

Hasta luego!
