july...

its been a interesting couple of days, hanging out in Asunción with some other volunteers for some 4th of july festivities... camping out in a park in the city and going to the U.S. embassy for a cookout. trying to get back to site, couldn´t get back yesterday, so hopefully today the afternoon bus will be running.

Things have been going good out at site. I have too friends living with me now, my cat moñai and my dog stout. stout is almost 2 months old now, and growing at a pretty quick rate... i havent seen here since i was in site last wednesday, so im excited to see how much she´s grown in the past week. i finally got my garden fence finished, planted some winter abonos verdes, dug some tablones and have some small vegetable plantitas growing... in a few months it should be bountiful...

i´m currently reading ¨jitterbug perfume¨by tom robbins, which i highly recommend. this is my second tom robbins book im reading, i just read ¨half asleep in frog pajamas¨which was a great book as well. i would say to read a book by him... really gets you thinking... and the dude writes some crazy stuff.

i wonder what else you are interested in hearing about...

the lives we live down here, what our days are like...

and i wonder what its like to be living back stateside... a world of difference

10 months already... its going to be such a shock to come back home, but then again, i didnt think the shock of coming here was all that much...

times up..

much peace, and much love
