Hot Fun In The Springtime

It seems like everyone is taking advantage of the weather. Calling this an early spring would be an understatement. Beaches and parks along the Sound have had plenty of activity this week with visitors enjoying the lovely spring summer temperatures. Even these two mallards in Oyster Bay Cove got in on the act, with their own version of Grazing In The Sand.

Sure hope it doesn't snow next week.

Earn Money With Travelling

Many of us think about an interesting and creative job. The today technology allows us to create this kind of working-place when we can work from home, have many clients from all the countries of the world and, probably, not only pay our bread but travel too. The problem is that may of us do not know how to create this working place. It's clear, we have to learn how this buiseness works. One of the possibilities to find interesting explanations are the article directories with their "eCommerce" categories where you can find interesting information about the sector and the "how-to-s" very easy to understand. Open the article The Internet grows and you can attract more customers that touches one of the most important sides of the internet commerce. If you confront the statistics how many persons use internet every year, you will see that the numbers grow impressively.

Article directorie's exploration allows you to find other possibilities to create your working place if the way of the eCommerce is not for you. Authors of the articles generally come from the sectors of the business they write about. So, if you prefere medicine, you can find expert opinion or suggestions too, like in the article The legislation of Medicare and health providers. Do not underestimate this valid help you can use competely free. Scroll the categories of your interest and articles in them and you will surely find help and stories about personal experiences of those who works in this or that business for many years and knows it from inside.

Some thoughts about things every traveller has to know before he/she leaves the house

This morning I found an interesting article about the 28 things a journalist says would be very happy to know before he began to travel. If they are good for a journalist, I said, they can be good for me too. Here I want to write some words to confirm his observations.

When I go in an other place I normally take real money with me and try to organize everything possible in advance, in internet. In the way that I have to pay only the absolutely neccessary things at the place.

This story began for me with easy-jet flight, when they did not explain the rules to me, and when they did not allow me to enter the airplane because I had not respect those rules. I remained in the street without money because I had only my credit card. And forgot the access number of that card. It was sad. I, customary, cryed, tryed to explain the situation to the stuff, but nobody wanted to listen to me. So, now I know, I have to have enough money to reach my home, if it's necessary.

The other thought I read today was about the police. The author says, you have not think they are your friends because there are many cases when the policemen sell their services to the best bidders.

I never had such situations. At contrary, I always received help from police when I needed it. But I know it is not "normal" situation. It happend to me because I had not serious problems. The persons that had them told me, the policemen were really very bad with them. They did not want to help and created much more obstacles as you had before.

And the last is the thought about the taxies. I know different stories about girls that took the first car they could find -and you know there are many drivers in any airport that meet crowds of the passengers. The same story they tell about the airport in Buenos Aires, for example. Such trips are not health even for the men.

So, I think, going in an other country and in an other place has to learn us responsability. All over the world there are persns that look for "stupids". And think, all the tourists ARE stupid.

Argentinian Tortafritas

The posts about Argetina could not be complete without some Argentinian recipes. Fortunately, a friend of my husband, Jose Luis, sent us some photos how they cook using a special pot. You can read about it in my post Argentinian Recipe. Now he sent us an other use of the same pot. Here you can see the photos. Those are Tortafritas. Sincerely I did not understand is it cheese or bread. In any case it has to be very good, I think. Mmmm... Specially if those are pieces of friesd cheese... I like fried cheeeeeeeesssssss...

Events coming up

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.
