Breakfast was ready at 9. Enough time afront for some mails and messages. Got the impression, that the whole buffet was set up only for me. Nice. Cute. Touching! But what a waste! The breakfast room was in the basement. Great design! A lot of authentic architectural features from the colonial time combined with modern […]
Today, I went to the edges on the other side of the village: a try riverbed. From there, the road goes uphill, again, towards the next mountainrange. On my way back, I stopped at a cute restaurant: CKunna. The food here is amazing! Sebastian, the manager and waiter, was quite talkative: together with his partner […]
As always I started the day with my homework. Only, today, a call with a member of the global doughnut community was part of it. He is involved in biobased bouwen for about 25 years, has a global network in it and, of course, a lot of experience. We talked for almost two hours, about […]
I needed to leave town. I’m not a city girl, as you probably know by now. I wanted to go up into the mountains. One option was to go with the Train to the clouds. Cashing tourists, you might say. It is. It’s way to expensive, for the average. For the region, it is a […]
You wanne know? #weskipthatpart Did I mention, that the check in in the ‘hotel’ in Cordoba was kind of reared? At the door of the address, I found about 5 doorbells, none with a clear desciption. Tried them all. Several times. Via the usual apps after making the reservation, I had three phone numbers. No […]
This morning started with the usual ‘get ready to leave’ routine. It’s already time to travel to Cordoba. Time flies! Because of the left-overs I made some sandwiches for the road. Seemed to be no luxury! The busses in Argentina don’t stop for lunchbreaks or so like they dit in Brazil. Learning point. Had a […]
I had set me a time limit in the morning, when I wanted to leave, go outside and finally see a bit of Montevideo! Now, the rain was over, I had no desire to stay inside any longer. Took the city bus to the central market… always love to see what is over from the […]
Sometimes, during the trip, I was curious, where we were. Though I checked it on Maps. In the early morning, it was Curitiba. This town was one of the examples during the Doughnut Economics workshop I gave in Viçosa. About 30 years ago, they had major issues with poverty, crime and accumulating waste (and illnesses) […]
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 […]
