I don´t know where I´m going, but I´ll get there.

It´s getting dark here, so I don´t have much time to spend in the cyber, but the weather has drastically dropped this week! I´ve had to use not only one blanket, but two, and I actually use my fleece in the morning! I never thought the day would come.

I just wanted to announce my future site placement...Caaguazú! I don´t know much, but supposedly the weather is mild there, and there is a market that sells whole wheat flour and garbanzo beans. Really, what else do you need? I also just now read that the soil is great for vegetation, or at least I think I read that. I can´t find that article anymore and I´m low on sleep. I leave tomorrow to meet my community contact for a day retreat and then we take off Friday for my site. I am a follow up volunteer which means I´m taking over where someone left off...sort of. The idea of being a follow up really makes me nervous, but hopefully the people won´t expect me to do all the same things the previous volunteer did. There is a brand new space that opened up for youth where I can have art and dance classes with the kids, too!
And on top of all that, I somehow magically got placed close to my best friend here. We are only an hour away from each other, I still can´t believe that.

When I asked if it was a good town to have a horse, the boss lady laughed at me. Vamos a ver.

I have so much to say, but I´ll have to wait write a better update. My partner and I did our last charla with 15 year old kids and had an American/Paraguayan dance exchange. That was seriously one of my highlights of being here, I couldn´t believe how well it went. It was one of those film moments, it didn´t feel real. One thing I forgot...I didn´t even talk about the Peace Corps. I just introduced myself and said, ¨Let´s go outside for the icebreaker.¨ Oops.

Lovelove!
