Welcome party

I arrived back in PY on saturday after a really long overnight flight, and I go back to site tomorrow (tuesday). I'm not looking forward to lugging my 3 huge heavy bags 45 minutes from the bus stop, up steep hills, on a dirt road, back to my house. But, what can you do? Maybe I'll request back up from some paraguayans. Anways, I am once again getting used to the unbearable 100 degree weather. Thats not true, I never will get used to this weather. I'm still homesick and want to be home, but the other volunteers who just got back from vacation are feeling the same way as well, which makes me feel a little bit better. I know its not just me that would rather enjoy hot showers, toilets, comfy mattresses, good food, driving, old friends and family, etc., etc., at least for another week or so. I'm sure once I'm back in site and am reunited with my emaciated dogs, flooded house with a leaky straw roof, garden with no veggies because they either died or the neighbors stole them, my ripped, barely usable mosquito net, frog droppings, no food, no air conditioning, etc., etc., I will be overjoyed because I will finally be "home." yeah.
