"Pieces of Adventure"

And now some few words about "Pedaços de Aventura" (eng. pieces of adventure):

"Boss" of the crew is Raquel - very warm-hearted, strong woman with a vision. The idea of ​​creating a rope park and then expanding the project, which is "Pedaços ..." with new elements (cafeteria; artistic activities; summer camps) requires lots of creativity, patience and a real energy. With the introduction to the work we heard a story about how the park, where we work, has changed thanks to one woman. And let me tell you, this story has really made a big impression on me. Especially when one looks at the current state park. Once it was an abandoned and neglected place with very bad reputation (which is why the first step of changes was building a real fence, and then came the time for platforms, ropes and all equipment). Now, "our" park is visited by large groups of school children,there are organized birthday parties and you can watch World Cup in the cafeteria, feasting on snails. This is it! And moreover, Raquel cares very much on good working atmosphere and you can simply feel positive relationships between people. And it's so positive place that I've walked there on my day off ^_^

Here are some parts of an article found in local newspaper:
<< The initiative "Pedaços de Aventura" created a city hideout and shows how important nature and sport associated with culture are in life. This project offers kids, youngsters and adults tree-top activities and paths, dedicated to sports. A part of the plan are also: a café with a terrace over a pleasant garden, games for children, active holidays and workshops. This initiative provides help for schools in encouraging children to use their imagination when in contact with nature and to know the area of Cascais. >>

To make you feel a part of our team, I'm uploading a picture taken with the crew of "Pedaços...". There are  still missing Nuno and Fonseca (those, who worked the most often with us) and new guys, who came for their internship - Joana, Miguel and ZeGi. I'm very sorry because of that, but the conclusion is simple: someone must work, so that someone else can take the photo ;)

And  here me in a rope park... Pure happiness :))
