Only 3 days until departure, and today was the last training before the trip. There was also talk about many little things, such as exchange of money, organization first trip, sockets and power in Brazil. So now everything really clear, so we charged last week by 1 clock to the bus and may take even repack suitcases.
And then there is still a fact sheet to the next station: Rolândia. The city is also young, for in 1932 bought the German tropical farmer Oswald Nixdorf and Hermann von Freeden fertile jungle of the British settlement company Parana Plantations Ltd.. and established for 400 German families, the settlement "Roland" or brasilianisiert "Rolândia." They chose this name in reference to their hometown of Bremen, whose patron saint, St. Roland. In 1934, then were the first houses, and today about 55,000 people live there project started. Even today, agriculture is the largest economic factor. everything with coffee (cultivation, harvesting, roasting, sales, and in Bremen, the famous coffee Jacobs was established), today also raise corn, soybeans, planted wheat, sugarcane and oranges.
As for us:
Rolândia 1993 was our first stop, and the coffee roasting plant and the sugar cane into alcohol as a fuel-Umwandel factory were our destinations. And for the first gig of the tour, of course, everything had to be perfect, so even some of our guys put makeup on (see photo). Maintained and accommodated, we were then and we will once again by members of the dance group Red Cap.
