I've been in Paraguay for 2 days now and it's been sort of surreal. We landed, loaded onto a bus (and were SUPER packed in) and taken to the training center. There, we had a lot of logistical work, but an awesome, traditional Paraguayan lunch. After we finished all of our work at the training center we were brought to a smaller community near the center to meet our host families. It was kind of emotional because they were just so nice and excited to see us. My family is wonderful.
It is difficult to communicate, which is to be expected, but I'm trying. My dictionary is mi mejor amigo! Sometimes I just look at them blankly because I have absolutely NO clue what they are trying to say, bless their hearts for putting up with me. Ha!
We eat all the time, it seems like. I'm ALWAYS stuffed. Yesterday, I had that fabulous lunch then sandwiches made by my host mom, then the Paraguayan version of pizza (very good). Every meal had large portions. Today for lunch we had typical Paraguayan food, then for lunch we had hamburgers. I'm not sure if it's because of me that they have these semi-American foods of if they have it often..
Today a few other PCTs (peace corps trainee) and I, plus some host sisters, went swimming in a local pond. It was beautiful and felt amazing to have cold water!
That's all I can think of right now. Until next time,

P.S. I have wifi in my house, if you could guess. Very exciting news!
I am so pumped that you have wifi in the house! =D
