I'm in Asuncion for superbowl weekend and Friday was spent in Villarica for Carnival. I am supposed to leave today to go back to site, but am easily influenced and will be heading back tomorrow. Last night a bunch of volunteers watched to super bowl and hooter's. Yes very Paraguayan. I almost felt like I was back in America. Football, Buffalo wings, Hooter's, oh yeah and there were hula hoops present as well. Chipa is still in heat, and she finally got so sick of getting raped repeatedly on a daily basis, that she came to me for help. Lauren (a fellow volunteer and basically my new roomate; shes in the picture with me in a moo-moo. Thats right we bought moo-moo's and you are jealous) and I decided to put a pair of my underwear on my dog to protect her. We were smart as to cut a hole for the tail, but neglected to remember that dogs are not potty trained and cannot pull down their underwear when they have to poop. The next morning chipa still had on her pretty pink undies, but she brought me a steaming poopy surprise as well. I had poop stained underwear in my front yard for about 4 days until i finally swept it to the side of the house, where it will probably remain for eternity, or until a little kid finds it and tells everyone that the americana pooped her pants and left her dirty underwear outside.
Carnival in Villarica was a blast. Carnival is pretty much the Mardi Gras of South America. It's biggest in Rio de Janiero, Brasil, but Paraguay knows how to party too. It's basically a big parade with lots of feathers and pasties, lots of foam being sprayed, and lots of beer being dranken. We were to cheap to pay for the bleacher seats so we bought the 10 mil tickets and stood a long the street to watch. We couldn't see soo well through all the people, but Carin and I were lucky enough to find a ledge on the side of a building that we climbed and sat on. It was fun. I got foam sprayed in my eyes numerous times and it hurt. I slapped a paraguayan for that but that only provoked him more. Don't slap Paraguayans if you don't want foam sprayed in your eyes.
