Yesterday was Paraguay's Independence Day. We got up early and went to plaza to watch a bunch of groups of school aged children perform little skits or songs, etc. it was really nice actually. Afterwards, there was a disfile (translate: parade) where all of the classes in all of the schools were basically presented to the community. My brother was a part of a drumming group, so that was pretty cool. Later on, we had a really awesome lunch, which was pretty chuchi and delicious! I took a nap (duh) and then I did some yoga (did I tell you that I started doing that? Because I did). The most exciting part of the day was that I got to go to the movies with my brother and my mom. Originally, Leti (hermana) was going to come too but she was too busy being guapa at a meeting for one of the many organizations she's a part of. So anyways, we went to see Divergent which was pretty good. I was honestly more excited about actually goingggg to the movies than which movie it was haha. For those of you who know me well, you'll understand why I was so excited. In the States, my favorite thing to do is go the movies. I'm a bit of a movie snob actually, you know... one of those annoying people who actually cares about who the director is and who wrote the score. Yup, that's me.
Today was Paraguay's Mothers Day. Lot's of holidays all at once, which means not a lot of work this week. I made my mom banana bread which I hope she liked. It seemed like everyone else did, because I'm pretty sure it's already gone! Yay me for being a semi decent baker. I also bought her a bottle of wine so let's hope we share that tonight! She's the best. She certainly has been making my time in Carmen a lot easier thus far, and for that I'll be forever grateful!
That's really all I have for now.
