Substrate For Granite Tops

Station 7 - Palotina

...
Only 4 days until departure and the first bags are packed ready. Well the costume trunk can make themselves ready. Harder it is already there with the baby-box ... Today I want to introduce Palotina, as far as I can, because it is the first and only place on this trip that I was not.

Palotina lies in the far west in the State of ParanĂ¡ about 300km away from the waterfalls of Iguacu. So we do in the late afternoon after visiting the cases also go until Palotina.

The city itself is very young, in 1940 the first settlement was built with 10 inhabitants in 1950, it had traveled 100 today there are about 35 600 inhabitants. Again, the main economic activity in agriculture, but Palotina also has a university where you can just study for the agricultural sector.

As for us:
The contact was only this year, when we had the dance group dance and love "as a guest in Erlangen. The group met for a day from Munich to make us a small workshop. We got it so good, not only because many of the guests were still talking German, so that we were also invited to Palotina.
Serli, the local group leader, has already promised me that will work with the housing and organizing everything, and we in West have only this station, it will probably be a lot of visitors from the surrounding communities.

More on the Net you can find, but it is only in Portuguese, so I you can not really recommend anything.

Today's picture was taken in 1993 and shows you the typical red soil of the region, especially beautiful in the rain. At that time there were in the rural areas a few paved roads within the villages, as the need to pay the residents of the street itself. I'm curious, how is it this time.
