How Does A 18month Get Stap Infection

Chapter 2: Weltwaerts be

a sunny greeting from Terra Mirim!

After busy weeks, I would like to once again tell something about life on the other side of the big sea.

While in Europe breaks the winter, nuclear power is back trendy and Guido "is Germany," Westerwelle was foreign minister, were 200 million celebrate Brasileiros and Brasilieras and watch as their beloved President "Lula" in public tears are on her cheeks rolling down. What had happened? Olympia 2016 - Rio de Janeiro, it had become reality! The first time in Olympic history comes the world of sport to South America. And Obama's Chicago fared no differently than Stuttgart 2012th As if that were not enough, there are spoiled for the Brazilians or the Soccer World Cup 2014 as icing on top of it (the application runs for the Olympic Winter Games already). In the following decade, for me, so technically vacation quite a bit decided or set the sporting goals. But not only in Vergnuegungsgeschaeft is my new home in October become active political signals have been set. Keyword 350th Those who read my last entry / About Mail has been at the weekend, perhaps surprised by the positive media response to this global climate tags. Thousands of photos, the number of required concentration of CO2 in our air - 350 ppm - is distributed across the globe in various versions have been already collected. According to the operators of the movement was the day a success! In the next few days is now trying to access the consciousness about the lessons to transform the future of our planet in pressure on our elected representatives. It remains to be seen with stress, how things until 7 December, the opening day of the Weltkilmakonferenz in Copenhagen, erntwickeln. A photo has

also contributed Terra Mirim. As part of the three days of EcoArt Festival in the Fundação was painted by two technically gifted young women one side of the building department of the environment (Ambiental) wonderful. The annual increase in CO2 content - graphically and adjacent to the outline of a huge number 350th Everyone was allowed to brush his hand, then metaphorically put his seal to the interior of the number. As you can see from the photo, some are also involved. "EcoArt," there was something. This three day event takes place once a year on the grounds of the Fundação. All people, young and old, from the "Vale" are invited to a weekend full of joy, art and environmental issues here with zuerleben-making and. Capoeiravorfuehrungen, an eco-poet (Yes, there is!), Dance and music shows of the ecological school of Terra Mirim, an excerpt from a play in a psychiatric hospital and several rounds of Samba should keep boredom at bay. All under the motto "Eu sou a teia da vida" - I am the chain of life. The event was closely successive shows of Maria Isabel, Maria Alba (34 years already!) Daughter, who knew how skillfully to enliven the mood and themes over and over again to take our relationship to nature in the round. So this great weekend with more than 500 invited guests at Terra Mirim far more than just an entertaining effect, to live deliberately, to question the everyday world, to respect the chain / the web of life and internalize that we live in perpetual symbiosis with the world - to have been given food for thought. to live consciously, which seems suitable as a phrase to life here in general. Amidst this wonderful garden Terra Mirim, full of fruits, leaves, medicinal plants, supplied with water from a nearby spa, you can even keep the truly amazing diversity and beauty of this world in mind. The animals live in harmony with people, bands draw inquisitive monkey in the trees above our heads and mysterious tropical wasp "Maribunda" (I was stung twice - including in the nose) to build amazing nests. The mere social organization of a bee colony with all their workers, landfill sites, guards, food depots (honey) and of course the Queen is an incredibly masterful work of creation. No man could invent something perfect. He can only destroy.

And he does it. I do. We all tuen. It starts with the clothes we wear and the fish we eat, go over to the keeping of livestock, the products we eat and to the electricity that we consume (even this Bloggeintrag heats up the climate). We continually forget an important fact, and this forgetting seems to be a neurobiological Verdraengungsvorgang that occurs only in Homo sapiens: we are mammals! We need air, water and food, like any other creature on earth as well. And here we go again "live deliberately" in the subject. The shamanistic philosophy deals much with the four elements - air, water, earth (food), fire (cellular respiration) - which are the very foundation of all life. But fatally buy what it is, not to be dependent on it. Until something is missing. Then it is a rediscovering. conscious life, that is, keep in mind that my plastic bag lands in the Pacific Muellstrudel my children eat and fish in their digestive tracts Kunststoffgranulatstueckchen. That my car emissions, the Maldives and drown Voelkerwanderungen be set in motion, go to the front of his own front door - and Lampedusa Co. are just the beginning. The fact that my piece of beef because of the rain forest in Brazil soybean production (cattle feed) and remove the cancer destroyed all other institutions in the world hit with, ultimately, me. To turn this awareness that can be learned here and it is perhaps an ideal, when I look at Terra Mirim. Today
was before my eyes, not 10 yards away, running over a big dog on the road in front of our bus stop by a jeep with pace 70th This suffering, this pain that had written this proud animal on the face. With lifeless hind legs and a broken pelvis, for roadside slow, there to die. It is still branded into memory. Just as The driver, who cares a damn and drove on. Live consciously or unconsciously?, That is the question.

But to come back to earth with a bump on the back: is the "regular" work is of course also
Once a week we must be out by 7 am the gardener in the clock. Because then gather all the staff of the Fundação to within entwildern to two hours a piece of the large campuses. Then, the machete is wielded, grass raked together, unpacked the trimmer and beautiful einzusauen correctly. In case of rain the whole thing even more delicious. Mud is flying through the area and the washing machine is looking forward to new food. It is a beautiful thing when you see how a relatively large Gartenstueck within such a short time again accessible. At the same time one feels surprisingly good to expend directly after getting up and then go have breakfast with the feeling "now we have already done what! Done
we have in the past four weeks more. The library has already arrived in the post-perfect condition. After we removed them and each of the approximately 1,000 books individually inspected and cataloged - had, as well as appropriate new Orientierungsschildchen, one could consider this small room with a little self-praise. This week were now the children of the ecological school in the library to host, to hold a small reading hour. They have left us quite a mess. One can confidently ask, why have children, which might not even read properly, raged so in the column "parapsychology". It was probably more concerned to examine the binding of the books than to read it. Dilan and I are also about to delve a little more into everyday life and the lives of Terra Mirim. So we left it to take us a one-day "course" in preparing fresh juices (recipes available upon request) visit here. This was associated with a very extensive round of talks under the direction of Maria Alba, which concentrated mainly on the theme and feeling feeding. It then sat in a circle together in the shamanistic temples. Because of the complicated psychological explanations of many stories about eating habits, but perhaps also because of the cozy atmosphere, I am then abruptly fell asleep on my seat cushion. However, I've learned a lot of interesting things about fruits and vegetables, for example, that at a water melon is very healthy, especially the white inner border and slows the aging process! Spurred on by some people who live here, we superior to the Germans and now seriously here once a pure "fresh-squeezed juice week" appeal, because with proper planning, you can take as all the nutrients in the right amount to be needed by the body. Only the nice feeling when chewing missing then indicated. This incidentally also falls under the category "live deliberately".

what our lives here are also beautiful is the steadily better and better contact with young people from the neighboring village of Palmares. We feel every time a fiddle when we drive the 5-10 minutes by bus from Terra Mirim-terrain along the BA-093 and then get into the "real Brazil". The funny thing is: we never really make an appointment with the people. Instead, we just come and take only directly but always someone to tell with whom we sing, or just have fun. These people are really deeply impressive people, are among others also the African Candomblé religion or the Communist Party of Brazil to close and open to a very amazing way the eyes for the world. We first met most of them young people at a youth camp in Monte Gordo, a tiny village near the beach probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. Under the slogan: "Sleep is prohibited," we have a whole weekend playing self, enjoyed the beach (despite drizzling rain) and the morning started early at 6 clock Samba rounds. Since we have not been announced, what to expect - namely virtually no room to lie down - could the few and short sleep phases with the Brazilian flag as a thin blanket and enjoyed my sweater as a pillow. Countless mosquitoes fulfilled in those nights I dream of her lifetime supply of food, it should be until the last day to be counted about 150 stitches on my arms and legs. But that did not detract from the good mood. Nor, as the fact that I was painted in the sleep of people caipirinhisierten frequently with color! The next weekend there will be a big Halloween party in Palmares. The public school is put here for their (small) school yard for disposal and a DJ is as good as organized. DJ, which designates the person who is burning the CDs. The current summer hit is the way, THIS .

Pronto. Agora, vou continuar a trabalhar. Tenho que alimentar as abelhas. To grande abraço para vocês e até mais!

world climate summit

On 24 October there will be a global day of action on climate change. The occasion is the December climate change conference held in Copenhagen, for fun and the run we make Terra Mirim in the public debate on this issue with.

This global day of action takes place under the motto "350" instead. 350 that the scientifically determined value (in "particles per million) of C02 concentration in our atmosphere, we would need to the ever-accelerating rate of melting of glaciers and ice caps, and other consequences of global warming just barely averted. This value was before the era of industrialization still at 275 and now - at 387! OTHER FACTS

This movement - 350 - is just around the globe and it is for the action day on 24 October already more than 3,000 events planned around the world. Transparent to the higher peaks of the Himalayas, ringing church bells 350 times and activities in the Great Barrier Reef are dazugehoeren. On
350.org anyone can express his own voice on the subject weight.

If a small political slide from here (Obama's Internet campaign workers having shown us), then after the next weekend full of events follow a proper review once again!

Stores That Sell Island Oasis

Temporary home page of Michael A. Schmiedel


In dry summers can be in some places, like here in Bonn wade through to the Villa Hammerschmidt in August 2003, on foot half the Rhine. (Photo: Peter Schenk, Schmiedel)

Last update on 08/18/2010

This blogspot site will be my temporary home until I get some time to make a really beautiful site on the net as my namesakes Michael Schmiedel the photographer, Michael Schmiedel the assistant director, Michael Schmiedel the forester , Michael Schmiedel the football fan, the bicyclists Michael Schmiedel Michael Schmiedel and the student with whom I neither used nor by marriage, nor even known, am part already have. To avoid confusion with these names cousins, I always use the second of my first name Alois A. (Westphalian Debate: Alwis).

has now such a personal homepage so something very self-centered in itself. Sure, I make it a little advertising for me, and then some of them but be amazed at what they read there, others rejected it. It could also be that some potential employers are among the second group. Well, where I'd like to not work anyway. On the other hand, I would be happy at all to have an income at least after the promotion, so as before. Whatever

reportedly So now who I am, what I can do what I have done so, because that personal websites are for. And if you after you become knowledgeable about it to know a way how can I make my own ways to earn a living, let me know.

In short: Good-natured thinker looks for job!

who support my work and also what he wants from her visit but the lectures and courses that I give in community colleges and other educational institutions. Here is a summary http://schmiedelvortraege.blogspot.com/

Private

I separate work and private life does not separate, but here it is, of even more private than before, although I will refrain from intimacy though.



family genealogy I have not been used. All I know is that my paternal ancestors from the Saale-Unstrut area or from the Querfurt-Merseburg plate and maternal come from the Middle Rhine Valley and the Münsterland . There are also each have some relatives that I sometimes know and love but partially not. Ulrich Schmidl is unfortunately not one of my ancestors, because genetically speaking, my father, the first in the family was Schmiedel.

My parents Rudy and Maria do not live anymore. They gave my siblings and me a safe home in childhood and youth, the right mix of roots and wings. I am very grateful.

My three sisters Monika and Norbert Rolf, all older than me. They contributed to the above-mentioned security that I experienced as a nestling, in essence. Also I am very grateful. And their spouses Volker, Monica Ruth and I are also fond of like siblings.

instead of smaller siblings I have four nephews Dirk, Björn, and Stefan Dennis. Which are now very independent in different occupations, and Dirk took care with his wife Patricia for the next generation in the form of their daughters, Sarah and Melissa Ann-Kathrin, the latter my evangelical godson, although I'm not even evangelical.

uncles, aunts and cousins I mention not now, although I mostly am a great believer.

Since 1998 I am married to Petra, my home on two legs. In 2004, we sealed our marriage again with a religious ceremony. We have no children.

Petra brought me two parents, Inge and Kurt, in my life. They are We deal with advice and support in our attempt to life.

friends I had of course, especially Lothar I since 5 School year know, and Andrew, whom I met in my forestry studies. The two are fast friends, even without that we would have already done every day together. Besides many dear fellow students from the Universities of Bonn, all of which would be too long to enumerate here, I would like to mention Ferdi, Germany's ambassador to the No. 1 men's rock movement, the practical me on this blog spots here made carefully.

Ferdi died suddenly on 11.9.2008. Read / Read to ask my obituary below.


Geographical home

I'm Rhinelander, an inhabitant of the country at Rhine , that river, the so-between the west and center of our " Europe " said Peninsula of Eurasian continent of the Alps Coming to making its way through the highlands and then flows to a few kilometers across the open country in a Delta in the North Sea .

My immediate home area is the Middle Rhine and Rhenish Slate Mountains . Really right in the middle where the two intersect landscapes where Taunus, Westerwald dance , Eifel and Hunsrück in a ring around the mouths of Lahn and Mosel , I was born in Koblenz and grew up in Lahnstein .

live in the moment I Bonn, Siegburg and Obererbach . Until recently, even Bad Kreuznach it.


religion

This is a little complicated, because I can not just say that "I am a Christian" or "I am a Buddhist" or something. Actually I am a typical example of (post) modern patchwork of religiosity, a bit of everything. Well, then again, not of everything.

from the feeling I am a theist, agnostic, or more precisely from her mind, constructivist, by her Buddhist meditation practice and the ethics of her humanist. As an infant I

was a member of the Roman Catholic Church and still am, and since 1994 the German Buddhist Union .

Na, confused? Who wants to unravel, just ask me.


philosophy

The friendship of wisdom, one does not necessarily foster academic, but it's about thinking through the right mix of, meditate, talk, read, listen, write, observe silence, and also act to develop the wisdom that enables one to lead a good, meaningful life. I have written to that effect so much of what I now have on hand but not digital.


values

think very highly I each other respect, even if the other is really different, or at least tolerance, except towards intolerance, solidarity with each other (so that they last much better than with the competitive spirit that in our society currently driving their neo-liberal mischief), responsibility for our social and natural world around, search for knowledge and wisdom, Equanimity and serenity, with all the necessary ambition, honesty and sincerity, modesty, but also a healthy sense of self, in short, wisdom and compassion and love and knowledge.

I do not like is all that is contrary to these values, competition, ie, selfishness, egocentricity, racism, intolerance, disrespect, self-satisfied remaining in ignorance, dishonesty, treachery, aggression, recklessness, cold-heartedness, self-righteousness, greed and lust for power, but and conformism, in short: greed, hatred and delusion.

See also my essay, "Socially Responsible obstinacy" later on this blog spot.


Other interests and activities:

- Men rock movement

Men also are not forced to wear only shorts. Skirts are often much more pleasant because airy, and often better than shorts.

to the topic I have some digital texts at hand:


neighbors (of 1999)

How come existence actually tastes? (Also 1999)

, what will people think? (Also 1999)

Mundus bracatus? No thanks! (also 1999)

Who rocks so late through night and wind? (Possibly by 2000 or 2001)

stubbornness instead of stereotyping (2004)

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M% C3% A4nnerrock (also 2004)

(If that does not work http:// www.wikipedia.de/ Open Rock and men enter a search term.)

Review (also 2004)

Some texts are no longer in power. I can send them on request but you.



- Music

Above all, I love folk and world music. This much can be read by me under
http://www.bonn.folk.welt.musik.de.vu/ top and some CD reviews listed in Folker! are published.

I play a little tin whistle, recorder, harmonica and horn, but not really call myself a musician, but as music lovers.


- Photography

have over 50000 slides I photographed since 1981. Digital I have are mostly not at hand but here is one that in Folker! published and there is also on the homepage .


This is the duo Eric'n Krainy (Eric Limbach and Uwe Krainer) at the last meeting on 11/01/2004 at Bonner Folk Anno Tubac in Bonn.


And since recently, the possibility is to show digital pictures from my system here without having already had to have a URL that I try it here with a photo of a landscape in the Westerwald, namely: Giesenhausen:




However, one must the slides or prints to scan only once. Now and then I'm going to an image of this page or replace. For example, the top on top of the page will be shown now and then a different picture, since most of it will match the current season. (If I'm not the photographer himself, in this regard is a name in parentheses.)


- Travel

Well, if the money because is, I like to travel, and I think that they whole wide world right starts in front of the door and I take a walk or a hike in the nearby home as well guess a trip through a strange continent, and I on the other hand in America or Asia develop sense of home, because at least it's still our home planet. There is so much fun, landscapes, cities and cultures to explore.


- Nature Experience

to travel and every day I enjoy the view of landscapes, the observation of animals, the change of weather and seasons.

- Beer tasting

caution alcohol! There is so many tasty beers especially in the German, Belgian and British tradition. It's great fun, to taste . But wines, spirits (especially whiskeys and brandies ) and - ah, no alcohol, but with caffeine or theine - Tees I love.

My new discovery this summer.











- Writing

Well, yes it shows here. "Who writes, remains" it says. What is published by my texts in print media, listed above, in some cases, what is somewhere on the Internet, but many things I have only hand-written in digital booklets, pads, and folders on hard disks and other storage media. Let's see what I still do like the Öffentichkeit accessible. So yes I would also like to earn some money, because I do not live solely by air, love and sunshine.

That was it yet, but here I stop, because the Diss waits on me and the time goes by ...

Where Can I Buy A Zuca Bag In The Uk?

Chapter 1: A complete start-up phase

a beautiful good day everyone I wish you out of Terra Mirim! My first real report from here is a little on longer than intended and due to the slightly different keyboard, I use neither, unfortunately, "ö", "ä", "ü", or "beta". Forgive me here for!
I hope this little story is still worth reading, can give a first impression of what I do here and maybe then answer the question: How to live because of the Max over there really so?

Much love I wish from the other side of the Atlantico and I look forward to every message from the autumnal Germany (there are no real seasons).
Your Max


________________________________________________


are now passed since our arrival so already a good four weeks, and in this course has done a lot. I must confess that it is not possible to write down everything. Because of course you can experience new things every day and wins a lot of impressions.

Firstly would be the language course, which I made in Salvador City in the first two weeks. This city is huge. In Germany I had already glanced at a map and actually believed that the city lies just around the corner. But must every day 3-4 hours by bus to make the language course, I have learned better.

Up to Salvador get there from here, really only having right coaches. These have front but never a word "para Salvador. Ergo: you stand on the roadside, trying desperately to identify at a speed of 70 ANRAS buses by their color - stupid, as if another car still chugs forward drann.

Then you have to stretch his arm out quickly and hope that the bus drivers are just not paying attention. When running bad, because one can ever lose half an hour! Then finally you sit a while in the air-conditioned vehicle and looks out the window track, forever past the quarters of the poor "Periferia. And then suddenly: huge skyscrapers, frenzied and noisy traffic, and people everywhere in the middle of the "Motorway" a Abwasserbruehe that stinks and slowly floats to himself. Once there, we should get a nice way and then go to the city bus, which leads one then, with a windchill detour, the German Goethe Institute.
This house is to be considered quite impressive: essentially a small villa, surrounded by 20-storey high pick Eaters. And also from the inside you the impression of a like being in a European enclave. Because there are a super-stocked library with modern internet connections, top air-conditioned classrooms and even a bar. The classes were more likely to say Brazilian, "chato" - boring. Group course I had actually booked, the group should be But then as I-AG meet. With my teacher, I was allowed 2 weeks 1.5 hours per day all the grammatical rules by going out there. I've longed in time more often Teetje, my teacher in Germany (F + U language school), bring about, who knew how to bring variety and mood in the hours.
knew how I already after the third day, which would on the next to come at me, would talk about the previous day, write down a new rule of grammar, such as reading, making 30 of its own examples from the head (where I always denied the creativity of the service) and discuss homework. I learned quite a bit here, but in relation to the stress of driving every day, the matter has not been successful.

Overall these two weeks were very exhausting, but at the same time of miserable hours of sitting and Zeittotschlagens minted. Although you can try to keep up with reading in a good mood, but with the constantly wagging and the roller coaster riding style of Salvador "Motor Istas," is only one bad.
evening I was allowed to make more diligent in addition homework and learn new words to round out the cause.
pity on these first two weeks was that I often unfortunately could not enjoy the excellent food, cooked is in Terra Mirim - vegetarian, varied, full of colorful exotic delicacies, freshly squeezed juices prepared rounded and loving of Nalva, our Bahian Küchenfee. This really is insanely great and sometimes even the Swabians ousted in me that yearns for delicious ravioli and pretzels.

Since last week I am right now in the timing of the Fundação involved. I work two shifts every day and Saturdays in the morning. A "layer" refers to an activity usually 9-12 clock, and from 13.30 - 17.00 clock. Variety is well catered for. The tool shed, sweep and pretty much everything in it grind and brush with anti-rust agent, freeing a bed of Umkraut, check invoices, create the list of food pantry the day before the big market visit, archive records, assign an old library cleaning up or a visit to the wholesale market itself, are tasks that Dilan and I are allowed to do.
Admittedly, I found it difficult in the beginning to come to terms with these tasks were, but I started with the intention of the ministry to devote himself directly to the environment and to work with as many (needy) people together. This discrepancy between expectation and reality, coupled with the constraining language, plus the subsequent homesickness is a closed and sad Max is a forlorn, one-week Realitaetsflucht followed in my Buecherwelt. To me then in a clarifying Gesprachaech with some leaders then the philosophy of Terra Mirim was explained what I have since happier and am about to sigh, to appreciate: everything is one. Each work
favored another. A clean, orderly library favored as reading the local youths, so this is a little nudge towards the education initiative. Stainless steel tools cut costs for all roommates and lead to the result that every green spot is nice, the toilets work and the roof is stable, which is admittedly, in turn, positively influences the mood of the people.
The tricky at this point is perhaps the fact that as an impatient 19 year old would like to quickly see how the work done to be effective and that they immediately something "back there". But, and this is very aware slowly comes back something noticeably with time.
I learned afterwards, especially one important thing: Dialogue is the foundation for good cooperation. Always.

But now things of the exhilarating new everyday!

I care about the preservation of the 25 colonies of bees, about once every three days will be supplied with sugar, to "grow" magnificent. But it may need more skill than one might think at first glance. Because while the old Sirupflaeschchen, the costs are usually at an entrance to the beehive, clean, hard-working to make pets out precisely to seal this food access. Why? Bees may nest in any light.
And that comes in through even the short time remaining input. free cut So you have to with great caution and a sharp knife in, but of course it may not get behind bee. Should this happen - practical experience taught me this already - and you accidentally the population to "population-minus-one" does, you can be happy that the evolution of this subspecies has robbed the sting. Because then declared a war on the colony, they swarm en masse from their dwelling and try to sell the murderer. This makes it easier not to do them the favor of good care. What does one but not all for the forest, the lungs of our lives :-)
By far the most enjoyable but the days are sections that I can spend in the "organic school". Morning and afternoon will be delivered during the week a school bus load happy child. 7 - 14 years, all age groups are represented, which are divided into two grade levels. There are then read poems and written off, dissolved Gruppenraetsel and operated primarily artistic activities. The big issue with which one is dealing here is nature. A sample lesson: There is a poem read aloud over the colors of the butterflies, according to written off, a butterfly handicrafts, and when the time still enough taken a walk to the lake, where there is to admire all kinds of butterflies. It is gratifying to see that even the youngest already mastered some extent, the publication! I sit down then just normal (not an easy task) to the kids in the classroom and trying here and there to give you some tips on how to "read the rather further apart, one sees that there are two words," or "is missing or a letter ". Lately I've just tried to put his own hand a math-fun hours to eight girls on the legs. The Tafelaufschrieb and the example summarily left out - no chalk far and wide, table buried under posters - I had with my Portuguese scraps to improvise more or less helpless. Children's Sudokus I have them trying to get closer. Some even with some success. Although no single Sudoku perfectly back on the desk of teacher Max came and many a glance looked pretty bored, so it was a complete surprise the question, "it has been fun for you" unanimous "yes". You put stop splashing around not.
Full of anticipation I had a detailed training plan for designed my first volleyball lessons, only to discover that my five 8 year old girls to be who actually prefer to capture or "Quem tem medo do Homem branco - Who afraid of white men" want to play. And after only five minutes had the public mind that actually a sport on the agenda was. End of the hour I found myself by the way, again surrounded by giggling girls, in a field of street chalk and had to parry hands singing ... but such is the soul of a child: not planned to the last detail, but free, easy and carefree. Of these, one could, unfortunately, in the (gray) adult world sometimes a leaf out of.
In their breaks to go above all the guys are on the soccer field in front of the school where I am active Paste as a supervisor you. It is indeed true: the young, barefoot playing Brazilian guys have it in the blood. A great technique and quite a Ronaldinho-Move with a hoe to make a point and again pause. We know this principle no German footballer Oliver Kahn and Ballack did not even tell them what. Later than when I move next year as the only cheering German by the weeping crowds in the streets of Salvador, one is on my Mario Gomez - remember jersey.

What we really otherwise?

Inspired by the local Capoeira Cracks that are acrobatic and salto striking in any place where tourists go long, I exercise myself initially bold at the Handstand (Record:! 10 seconds) and Dilan even at the top level. In the long term the Flick-Flack with final Rueckwaertssalto is of course the goal!

On the last three weekends we have taken the smaller tours in the area. We were for example at the Praia do Forte, a super nice beach with Meeresschildkroetenaufzucht, you can also visit. It was not very hard for me to inspire a passionate fan of the marine fauna. In addition to the five different Wasserschildkroetenarten Brazil, raised in special breeding ponds to be protected from enemies, there was also a pool with giant sharks, giant rays, or a pool with a wingspan of 2 meters. Seen from above, it is clear to the viewer as a truly aesthetic appearance. Oh, and of course the beach itself was fantastic!

A boat ride through the "Baia dos Todos os Santos" around the corner, we could not take us a week ago, with two of the 57 islands was halted to behold again two Bilderbuchstraende. With
celebrating Brazilians, who drink the water (in the morning at 9:00 clock) caipirinhas drums, and cheer for a singer on a ship in the book, once we really gripped the Brazil-feeling. And good cheer, though again slightly burnt, we could not even the 1.5 Return to spoil the mood.

did Saturday two weeks ago, we are the "Dia da musica" go to Palmares, a small neighboring village, on the playground. The show started a mere 2.5 hours after it was originally scheduled - the typical Brazilian composure had closed and we Germans were nice as stupid and far too early. What was once more exaggerated with the structured nature? However, it was then a really entertaining evening. First, our wonderful dances were presented in all variations of the youth of the area. Hip - hop dances could not fail, but also African dances from Camila, which itself derives dance lessons in the Fundação brought the school playground "for cooking". Then it left a local hip-hop group "Os 5 loucos" on taking to 'perform' well-known classics of the Brazilian scene and the atmosphere was great. In the age of 6 - 25 all rapped with busy and sometimes I even ran a famous phrase about the lips. When the concert later in the evening was over, we have this rap band with a little entertain, and it became clear: the German rap has unfortunately been unable thus far. Funnily enough, these "five crazy" in reality only half as hard as it can suggest the texts and so we became friends a little with them. You will probably be at a party in October, in Terra Mirim, a small deposit for the best.
