Our chains set us free: Bike trip to Tavira

As always winter is very summery in Algarve so our friend EVS from Faro Alexandross inspired all of us to go to Tavira by bicycles. Saying all of US i mean the new volunteers as well...

Yes, yes... in the beggining of Februry we wellcome to our EVS familiy 3 girls: Tabea (Germany), Martina (Macedonia) and Busra (Turkey).
Well, the idea was challanging and at the same time very interesting: cycle 23 km is not the same as cycling from the Cube to the Port and back and there is no Catita in the middle to go, have a rest, drink cervejinha etc.
So we went out folowing the EN125 road that leads to Tavira.
There is also a Eco road, very short and nice but you know, we are EVS, we love the challenge :D

For those who want to know about "EcoVia do Algarve", it is a coastal route that links Cape St. Vincent (Sagres) in the west point of Algarve and the city of Vila Real de Santo António (V.R.S.A.) in the east border with Spain. It is part of EuroVelo route 1 that links Sagres to the North Cape, in Norway, and is also known as the Atlantic Coast Route.

After 2 hours of cycling we get to Tavira...again, it was one of the best places we have ever been in Algarve. City is devided into 2 parts by Gilão River which meets the Atlantic Ocean.

And yes, will be better if we just show you all the pictures. Enjoy

Ah yes, on the way back we found an "increadable" praia in Algarve #ifyouknowwhatimean ...Praia that will change you understandings about them at all :D at least the photo we did there was good

And now we are four...! :)

Well hello again people! Two months ago 3 people came here to Portugal ready to change the world! Ready to make lots of things and learn even more! But somewhere on the road they run out of ideas. Fortunately a new guy came, sharing the same passion, the same motivation and also fresh ideas! His name is Farid! He is our new roommate! And we would like to welcome him to the team through this post. Well, Farid is from Azerbaijan and he came all this way to the far end of Europe searching for the experience of a life time. He is a Mathematician, with lots of experience in Youth in Action programs, thus his experience would help us to develop new projects and he will be very helpful with the kids´ homework because of his degree.

So a big welcome to Farid from all of us.....

...and a big smile from Farid to all of you :)

Why we love kids!
