Well. Another long bus day today. 6 hours on a bus to get to Caazapa. The town nearest to me, that is supposed to take 45 minutes. Lets just say my alarm didnt go off to catch the morning bus, and what happened after that was my own damn fault.
Well tomorrow, December 8th is a super big holiday in PY. Dia de le Virgin Del Caacupe. People all over py walk to the city of caacupe to pray at the church. luckily, we have a little virgencita church about an hour walk from my house so i dont have to walk for three days to get to the city. The virgincita is an important spot too but i dont exactly know why. tomorrow there will be a rodeo and festivities and a fiesta in the evening. I wish I understood the holiday better, but if your really interested, research it.
Next friday I leave for asuncion. Saturday is my sister groups despidida. And the 17th I fly out of PY and head home for christmas! I am super excited to see my friends and family. Although the paraguayans tell me that no one will recognize me now because I am so tan and fat. Real nice. I can´t wait to listen to christmas music, take a reliably hot shower, sleep in a comfortable bed, eat seafood, visit good old rhode island and all my best friends that occupy that state, eat more seafood, watch a christmas story, see a christmas tree, see snow (hopefully), escape 110 degree weather and mosquitos, not be afraid that i will contract a disease if i touch a dog, and of course see my mommy and daddy! oh yeah, and to see my car, and maybe drive it! I got teary eyed on the bus today thinking about my car. haha im not even joking.
the computer is being super slow and i dont have the patience to upload anymore pics. But so far I have one of me super happy at the abandoned gas station trying to get to thanksgiving a couple weeks ago, the people eating rainbows, and my boyfriend juan dario. yeah i give up. this comp sucks.
