Just a quick round-up of coming events: we have our Walking for Health day on April 20 and a Huelgoat walk on the 27th. In May/June/July there'll be the coastal walking holiday (dates not yet fixed, watch this space), a day on the famous Pink Granite coast, a guided visit to the spectacular parish close at Pleyben (see About Me photo opposite), followed by a canal/country walk, a grand get-together picnic and many more afternoon walks in Brittany's rich landscape.

Lovely day for a walk!
We were lucky with the fine weather again at Motreff yesterday and had a lovely walk around the lake and in spring-like woodland. Thanks to Chris for the photo.

Misiones Argentina: mines of precious stones
This trip would be probably the most breathtaking for the women. To stay between big big "mountains" of precious and semiprecious stones... My God, is it possible? Oh yess, it's perfectly possible if you visit this province of Argentine, Misiones. It's a kind of corner between 3 countries: Argentina, Brasil and Paraguai. There are so many interesting places there, I just wrote about the waterfalls Iguazu. There are interesting ruins of the "town" of Jesuites and -these incredible places. I found this video in YouTube and think it's more clear then all the words.
The Panama Dream Vacation
One of my friends dreamed to visit Panama all her life. Nobody could find a reason for this strange desire but it was the only destination of a travel for her. One day she told us, she spoke with an American about tourism once, and he said her, Panama is the best country of the continent, beautiful and fantastic. There is all you can imagine for an unforgettable vacation.
Chose one of the best Panama hotels for her stay there, my friend began to explore this paradise for tourists. Since there are different landscapes -high mountains and deep valleys, it's possible to meet great variety of exotic birds and animals
there. Special tours allow everybody who likes the nature to enjoy bird watching and wild life. You surely can understand the delight of my friend, when she visited than a little archipelago where known pirates of the XVII century had their base. She did not find the treasures of tose pirates but was in ecstasies to touch the soil related to their history (as for me, to the well known movies).
The most interesting shopping, she said, was near the Panama Canal. It's because there is all the world got together. There were museums and historical buildings to visit too, but she preferred to make tours in the national parks and to enjoy sun and water on the beaches. It could sound strange but there are different national parks in Panama and in one of them the tourists can participate at the life of the Indians. There is even a dormant volcano in one of the parks and it is Panamas highest peak.
Oh, those white sandy beaches, a sweet dream of every citizen of the Europe! Imagine that the water is 24�C all the year round there! Unfortunately my friend had not so many days of vacation, wanted to visit everything possible and could enjoy beaches only some times. At the end of her vacation she was so fortunate to participate on one of the folk festivals that take place some times a year. The vacation in Panama was fantastic.

More Iguazu Waterfalls Photos
Some time ago I just wrote posts where I added photos of the waterfalls of Iguazu seen from the side of Argentina. Those photos were taken by the friend of my husband when he visited the waterfalls with his family. He sent us other photos. They are so beautiful that every heart attracted by Great Water will begin to pump quicker. By the way, do you have this problem too? I like every Great Water: lakes, seas etc etc. I just began to write posts about the greatest lakes of the Earth.
Iguazu Seen From Brasile
I just wrote sonme posts about the waterfalls that are situated between Argentine and Brazile, Iguazu. Here are some photos from the zoo of the birds that you can visit if you have a walk in the Brasilian side of the National Park. Notice an interesting peculiarity: all the birds are near the persaons. I've never seen something like this. Here, in Italy, we have similar birds in the zoos but they are close in their cages -big or little, it's no matter. They are separated from the persons. There you can see the persons that can even touch these birds. I would like to do it too. :0)))

Argentinian Recipe
In our supermarkets it's possible to buy pieces of meat from Argentina now. They cost much more than Italian meats but they are really different. I need about 2 hours to cook a piece of meat from Italy and only 40 minutes if I have equal piece from Argentina. My husband when he comes from Argentina can't think about other than meat he ate there. He says, the taste is completely different.
This time I show you one of the possibilities to cook it. The photos took a friend of my husband. I think it's very clear what they used to cook. I do it more or less the same way. What is interesting for me -I've never seen such a pan for fire.
