Young and yet very wise. Delicious as their home made mango jam... which they gave us some. Arrived very late at night, looking for a place to sleep across the ferry that it will take us to Caraivas. And once again, as many many times before our prejudice tricks us. Opening up and the world is different to what we initially thought. Like this young couple, very much in love, so generous and warm, who are building a sustainable vegies/fruit heaven. The taught us about capoeira principles,  aromatherapy oils, the 1000 ways to cook mandioca - absolutely loved their cocoanut pudding, and the secret of avocado growing. We talked until very late at night, sharing dinner. One night their turn, then ours.  They have so many plans and ideas. So exciting to see.  And yet, they also have times of isolation and difficulties...."I never realised that I needed money while I had a good job and money!" The balance of choices, the gain and looses
