cornhole anyone???

sooo yesterday i spent the afternoon with a local carpenter making the what is most definitely the first Paraguayan bag (cornhole) set ever. its fair decent for the tools we had. well have to see how well it holds still. i still have to make the bean bags but that shouldnt be too hard i hope. im excited to paint the boards the colors of the two major soccer clubs here, cerro y olimpia.

sunday was election day for the intendente which is pretty much the mayor of the town. there are two main political groups, colorado which is red and liberal which is blue. colorado ended up winning and there was a huge caravan through the town. it was pretty nutz. and it ended in the tinglado, where there was a huge party that last the entire night.

finished season 4 of the office...almost, got 23 minutes left. haha i love this episode. one of the funniest ones, when toby finally leaves!!! michael is straight rediculous.

so i think this is the longest ive gone without leaving the town. it has been a whole month. nutz. i cant sort of finally. i am itching to see my american friends and go to the city. but also i can feel myself getting more sucked into the life of being stuck here.
just found out that my host brother will be leaving in december to live in a city a few hours away. ill see him once in a while but it will be a lot diferent without him around as well as all the seniors in highschool. they are my closest friends because they are nearest my age. everyone my age has moved out of town to work or study. so in december ends the school year and the seniors will be going too. kind sad.

in january we are having the anual leadership camp and i will be bringing three kids from my town the one of the big cities, ciudad del oeste, for three days of leadership activites. it will be fun.

i have also started talking with a buddy of mine about opening a gymnasio or workout facility because there isnt one here and all the jovenes really want out.

haha i even started practicing break dancing.

this morning played twisteer with my little kids enlish class to teach them colors and left and right and hand and foot.
they lovvvvved it and want to play again next week. well have to see....


any ways thats all for now
