Hi, I hope you all have a great weekend. I haven't posted for days, I've been very busy, but today I was excited about a particular topic that 
Could you live whitout your mobile for one weekend?
Definitely yes, in fact I do it once a month or every 45 days, depending on how often I go to visit my mom.
She lives in a mountainous area and cell phone services have only been available for a few years now, although internet is not yet widespread in the area, phone coverage is. For me, it's like there is none, as soon as I arrive I turn my cell phone off and don't turn it back on until I go back home. It's like a detox period.
Detox from the networks, from noise and environmental pollution. From the hustle and bustle of the city, the people, the lights. Days of connection with nature, with the roots. It is a happy and necessary time.
In "my house" because I also feel it as mine, (here I was born and lived for many years) life is light. The courtyard of the house is planted with fruit trees, bananas, avocados, oranges, chirimolla, fruit bomb, coconut trees, guava. Plants that serve as spices and grow wild. Food is harvested for family self-sufficiency. They grow cassava, malanga, beans, all organically, without chemicals. There are farm animals that live happily.
Much of the land is planted with coffee trees that are grown and roasted in the traditional way. In a pan over fathoms of dry logs, the smell of the beans fills the air, it is magical.
Everything is within reach. Nature provides. The water consumed comes from springs, untreated water with an enviable taste and quality.
The surroundings are beautiful, with lush landscapes, perfect for hiking. The flora and fauna is very well preserved. Enjoying with family and friends in any river that floods the landscape to cool off from the heat, is a common activity. This area has a pleasant climate, which turns cold at night and leaves a thick fog in the mornings that foreshadows the heat of the day.
Such are my weekends without a cell phone. Who would survive in these conditions? Anyone would, no doubt. To stop using the cell phone for a weekend in exchange for enjoying these wonders, no way. The balance is always positive.
