nEw visits, aFtEr tHe LoNeLy dAyS...


Tiago, an old friend of mine from Porto came for a few days to visit...I think he arrived friday night, more than a week ago... it was really nice to have him here...and really fun...he works with "arborism" and he brought a little gift for us... he built a small slide for us to try... Saturday morning another guy arrived, Jared ...hopefully to stay for a longer time...



His visa will run out in the end of October, so he needs to extend it for more 3 months for now...He was thinking to apply for a permanent visa and make the land his homebase in Europe, but for that he would need to go to the USA to apply for it... how can we understand these things?

Jared wants to stay in Europe for a while...travelling and getting to know travellers, squatters and anarquists...
so now I have a new neighbor in the woods... He loves trees as well...he just set up his hammock and rain tarp between 2 trees, and he's happy... a very interesting person.

The next day, Tiago set up the slide for us to have some fun...


and it was soooooooo cool, even though it was just a small one... we were speaking and he said he has a project to present to the city-halls to set up Arborism "playgrounds"... It´s a great idea, to bring children to natural places, connect them with trees and teach them to deal with their fears...

On monday Stephi was coming... she's a mother I met in Germany 2 years ago in the rainbow when I met most of the Jesus Freaks' family... she's married to Uli and they have 3 kids, Milan, Melody and Elias... they're a great family...
Me and Jared went shopping in Fundao as we had quite a few heavy things to buy... luckily we found a baby car in the trash that helped us carry all the shopping back to the land... great provision...


After shopping we picked up Stephi from the bus...she was happy with that, and also very proud of herself as she hasn´t been traveling on her own since a long time...


It has been really cool to have her around... but unfortunately I don't have much time to be with her as I just came this weekend to Porto to see some friends and I will have to leave again to Sevilha to see Byron and Lisa... I'm so excited and looking forward for that...I miss them sooooooooooooo much !!!!
