A walk in the garden

I decided to do. I left the comfort of the comfort zone and decided to try. I made a list of what you left behind: a job, a house, a family and wonderful friends, a television that understood, a shadow and a pout. Then, When evening reviewing, I added a car, my comforter, thousand tavernas and a cd. What do you expect me? I made another list after long sleepless nights filled with a "do not know".

Mass is an evangelist. Several groups have come from nearby places. They make presentations and each group sings a song. We also. The best thing is the group that has come from Nampula, They are many and sing several songs with choreography. It is a vision that we still lacked in Mozambique.

Ruta VAP (III): meeting with edén

Fortunately the rain has stopped. The landscape is different from the other parks. But no savannah subtropical forest with dense vegetation. The predominant tree is the yellow acacia. The color of the bark of these trees, along with the moisture that has brought rain, the loneliness of the place, the silence and the morning light creates a mysterious atmosphere.

Penalba de Santiago: the silence of the stone

When I enter the villa I attest to its intoxicating atmosphere. The first thing that comes into view is his past. Peñalba is an ancient town where the church of Santiago de Peñalba is located, a jewel of Mozarabic architecture from the 10th century.

Ruta VAP (II): Things waters of the Indian

Until recently Mozambique was one of the poorest countries in the world. No wonder. What I have seen so far and what I have been told shows me a face of Africa a little different from the one I knew. The Portuguese had to leave in 24 hours, which did not allow a minimally planned decolonization, shortly after there was a fifteen year civil war. The result is that the few Portuguese infrastructures have been lost.

South Africa had to resuscitate, they did it, I'm alive. But I have never forgotten the people who were with me that day, I could have lived, perhaps, if I had health insurance that I had.

In Sweden there is a soap bubble, Herrang Dance Camp

I understood, in a great epiphanic swerve, that life is about that, to be alive at every moment, the, like children and snails, go slowly without running anywhere following the tempo set by the music, without anticipating or waiting, without being unmarked or highlighted, get into the flow, simply, and then fly away.

Siwa: Alexander's loneliness

The Oracle room is just a small room with no ceiling no more than 40 square meters.
