Dorbiner Messe

Ok, I know I haven´t been faithful to you, I forgot about Blogging for a long time, but now I´m back. I don´t know if I should explain a little bit what I have been up to the last month but I will start with what I did last weekend.

There´s being a huge event here in Dornbirn and I was there, helping the people from Europe Direct and representing aha (and EVS of course) Dornbirn HerbstMesse

We spent 5 days explaining to young Austrian people about EVS and going abroad in general.



There was a little bit of everything from Vorarlberg and Austria in general (cheese, milk, pumpkin seeds, cars, beer, decoration, pools, restaurants, political parties, radio stations, TV, entertainment, social issues, etc)

We had a fishing game for little kids.

Hiking in Dornbirn

Last Sunday we organized a hiking day for the volunteers around here.

We went up to the mountain with the Karren and we walked until Staufenalpe, where we had lunch. While we were walking there we found cows that are taken there during the summer.





Then we continued until Rappenlochschlucht, that is an amazing natural cavity between mountains with the river beneath them.



It was a great day, and I will come back to this wonderful place soon!!!

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

Ok the photos thing is getting better. Though is still wrong...


Now I´ll tell you about my day off. I went throw the town (Dornbirn) and I had a walk to the river, Dornbirner Ache, and I had magnificents views over the mountains.



So I continued walking towards the center of the town, thou I didn´t really know how to go from there, and I found what it appeared to me as a food market. I realized soon that it was done mainly by arabian people. There were teashops, kebab stores, and even some places with clothes. I tried something like a crepe with spinach in it (and a lot of spices) I really loved it there. I took a lot of pictures, as you can see.




Everything was done in the tradicional way, and when I continued my way to the center, I realized it was something organized by the islamic center (maybe the mosque, I don´t know if it´s both)















They even had arabian homemade sweets!! That of course I tasted, and I have to say they were delicious!!

So what I mostly did on my day off, was eating!!!!
