If the (I even can’t say ‘our’) marrige had last… it would have been the 40th anniversary. He went out on me, on us (the childeren and me), in our third year of marrige, 7th year of relationship. Proving: statistics are right. Ironically (is this the right word?), my father married his second wife on […]
The mornig started with some to do’s. Finally, I left the apartment for a stroll through the city. The Selarón Stairs are just a stone through away. This time, I climnbed them till the very end. Along the stairs, they offered some good Caipirinhas. Couldn’t get me into it; still not easy with drinking alone. […]
After breakfast, a 12 hour work marathon. That’s not the way it should be, shouldn’t it? Further just normal stuff: cooking, laundry, groceries… Glad, I’m in an apartment now. Helps a lot. Another AHA: because of the groceries, choosing a apartment makes only sense, when you stay more days… some basics, you will always need […]
The digital world left me almost no time for breakfast. Wanted to be on time at the busstation to be able to deal with evenualities. Most of the time, a digital ticket is okay, sometimes they require a printed one. And then you have to find the right counter. And the right platform. Terminals can […]
I won’t write about terrible things back home. Probably, the universe decided, that also this kind of stuff had to be part of my learning journey. Certainly, what I resently learned in Dragon Dreaming helped to deal with it. Kept me put the most part of the day… internet is not guaranteed, thus for now […]
After luchtime, I walked to the Musum of Art and Crafts, more an historical museum, it seemed. It’s situated on both sides of the train station, linked by a tunnel. Some bigger pieces were placed on one of the platforms. In the exebition mainly pieces from the early colonial era, some with indiginous arts. In […]
What a special day, again! And, how noisy is the city. Not my cup of tea. The hotel reflects the architecture of the 30th. Lot of original elements. What they now use for breakfast was probably the ballroom of the old days. They say, that Belo Horizonte means ‘pretty horizon’, you supose to see the […]
This morning, Felipe came back for an joined breakfast. Before I had to leave for the bus to Belo Horizonte, we still had time for a prolonged check out and a final dragon dreaming celebration. We talked about the deeper meaning of Pinakarri: deep listening. In the check out we reflected to the three generative […]
This morning started in the same quiet and calm sequence as the others. After breakfast I went for an extended walk. Along the crop fields, I came to the community center and from there to the water reservoir at the bottom of the valley. I crossed the reservoir and took the way uphill, along a […]
Had sent some flowers and presents to my birthday girl. Went well, despite the distance 🙂 Happy birthday! For quite some other reasons, this morning like hours the dayes before, disapeared. Couldn’t spent a minute on my quest. Also here, I did my homework om the terras, looking out over the grounds and the valley. […]
