    Paddle, walk, climb, descend, meet, talk, observe, feel, canoe trip challenges and transforms each of its members. Every person, every conversation, every child, every look has some message, some knowledge to pass. The exchange of culture is impressive, personal growth within this trip is inexplicable. We realize that every journey leads to the same place: ourselves. Traveling is not only leaving home, says Michel Serres, is primarily to find the other because it is from him that we learn. by: wanderlustmind Views[528] Were approximately 150 km traveled rowing and sailing in canoes carved from a single wood trunk. The expedition had 15 stops, among these, eight communities. Traveled inlets, bays and rivers shaped maze, isolated places impossible to be visited without the presence of a native. Woke up, anxious and apprehensive, at 5 pm on July 1 with a rain and a rousing uplifting cold. We went towards the beach and getting there we encounter six canoes, we were surprised that we had to build our candles using sheets, ropes and bamboos. Cell phones off, no clocks or expectations, one stroke sufficed for the journey begin. by: wanderlustmind Views[494] Almost always paddled endlessly until the doors of a community hidden in the mangroves or the arms of a river, in the woods or on top of a hill. The canoe trip requires one of the integral absolute detachment. The hours of rowing varied independently of weather conditions (sun, rain, cold or wind) or the human condition, sometimes felt hungry, some people got sick and tired took care of us all. Over time communities were becoming increasingly distant and the presence of the forest, mangrove and mountains more exuberant. We have always been well received in the communities in which we are very simple people, but possessing a very rich culture, a tradition that should be preserved. Find fishermen, hunters, shellfishermen, artisans, fandangueiros, oyster collectors, teachers, healers and many others. The way of life is guided by mysticism caiçara related to use of mangrove land and sea. However, there is a huge conflict you enter the laws governing the nature of the region. The main conflict was noted the application of the laws of nature conservation clash with subsistence activities of the communities. The laws bring several concepts and rules in practice occur irregularly and are often a threat to such communities, not reconcile its existence with nature preservation. People living in extreme states of insecurity mainly related to health and education, abandoned schools where teachers work virtually alone, there is a large government neglect. by: wanderlustmind Views[703] It all began on 31 June with a gathering of 14 people on the Island of parts. Overnight organize the food that we would eat and load during the next 15 days, and also the clothes that we raised to be donated to the traditional community during the trip. We got to the paradise and desert island of Bananas. Unloading the luggage we had another surprise: everything was wet. Our lodge in a cave, made fire and Renato presented in the script of the trip. We made a circle and talked, each was given a new name, dined and slept inside the cave. From there it would be so cold bath, toilets rare, little comfort, but very challenging and learning. Almost always paddled endlessly until the doors of a community hidden in the mangroves or the arms of a river, in the woods or on top of a hill. The canoe trip requires one of the integral absolute detachment. The hours of rowing varied independently of weather conditions (sun, rain, cold or wind) or the human condition, sometimes felt hungry, some people got sick and tired took care of us all. by: wanderlustmind Views[503] As we were leaving the beach we experienced a strange condition of being put in a place, which lived its life but it doesn’t anymore. Like you were visiting the past. But maybe it is like that with all seasonal areas. It lives its life during the summer and in the winter it just stays to wait for another possible life. by: vilma Views[375]
     
    There were strange constructions as well, which could serve as a bay watch shelter or as a house for someone, who never left the place after the Mariachi shot party. But we never saw anyone greeting us from the balcony of this “Beach villa” or from “Bufe” and maybe that’s the best to leave things like they are. by: vilma Views[412] Some signs were showing that people in this abandoned place were probably having fun. The bars were there with all equipment inside. Advertisings were offering a Mariachi shot. And all that was a bit contrasting with the mood of the surrounding. It looked like people left unexpectedly this place with no fear that they will not come back. by: vilma Views[386] The place was looking like people abandoned it some time ago. Things around were partly ruined but obviously some time ago it was used for purpose. by: vilma Views[324] In 2009 I was staying in Istanbul for the exchange program. My friend Mirva and me we decided one day to go to the beach by the Black sea. It was really strange to walk in the beach for 3-4 hours with no people at all just bumping into some signs of civilization. The weather was nice and light was soft. But the horizon was full of ships waiting in the line for something. Maybe they were waiting for a signal to enter the port. But the strict formation of them gave a feeling of something aggressive and unknown there. by: vilma Views[283] Terraced vineyards in the prosecco region by: kathybechtel Views[706]
