Vitry-sur-Seine

In the morning, a small group, me included to help with possible problems, went to paris by metro to get some bicycles back to Vitry (we lost 3 hours to make around 20 km!!)...

we had lunch and a talk about eating dead bodies (normally called meat) or not...

In the afternoon we went back to Park Lilas and had a presentation about the insects, the ones that help the agriculture process and others and some tips how to get an equilibrium (using "good" bugs that eat the "bad" bags) without chemicals, after the presentation we went to see the fields of Planete Lilas the host partner of this exchange, understand how they work (they produce some vegetables to sell with fair prices to local population and voluntaries)

With the help of one voluntary from SCI we built a compost bin with wood pallets in the park and talk about its function...

When we returned home we had a band playing and dancing, some friends of matilde, and the italian prepared the dinner (pasta with tomato and basilica)... We had a meeting and went to bed (vitry is not so urbanized, so some people, despite the rain, were sleeping in tents in the garden)
