angepyhare...(last night)

soo last night was just awesome.....it was a gorgeous day outside and i bought cow meat to grill and cerveza and finally had the unveiling of my cornhole set.....

i wish i had a camera but there will be other oppotunities....like always my friends were unsure about playing and trying something new but then after one game, like always, they loved it and there was a crowd of 20 kids coming off the street to stand and watch us play. i only got to play the first game haha which is alright with me and then afterwards they kind of took over...i just sat back, relaxed, sipped my cerveza, and watched.

it was pretty awesome. i think they played for like 3 or 4 hours. eventually the boards broke a little. they still work but i will have to get another set made out of woood that is a little bit stronger.

its kind of cool as i am typing this im not sure if it is coming to me first in castillano or english. i sort of have it stranlsated in my head at the same time...weird feeling.

man i had something awesome i wanted to write about. it as totally random and i knew i should have written it down. but its gone now.
o well....

so guarani is all about dirty jokes and bad words. so i learned a fairly lengthy joke in guarani. it takes me forever to tell it and it comes out terrible but they love it and die laughing. jaja i feel like this is how im going to learn guarani. i have a book filled with 300 pages of grose jokes. i dont understand any of them. but if i can get through one joke a day i feel like i will learn the gramar at the same time. little by little. but it costs me a lot to speak it. my mouth is always really tired after telling the joke. major tongue twist this language.

mmmm so if people have questions i think you guys can like post comments???? in the form of questions and then next time i post i can answer...!!!

so this morning i was talking with an agricultural guy and he tells me that yegros biggest problem is that the people dont know how to sell they products or where. they really only grow food for themselves and dont do anything with the rest. so next week we are going to plan out a schedule to go visit all the farming communities and talk to them and see what we can do. im pretty siked about this.

i will keep you all updated.....

all for now

love you all

....

but i am definitely loving every minutes of it

things that remind me of where i am......

..helping give a sheep a haircut
..the water getting shutoff everyday until 7pm
and not getting turned back on sometimes for two days because its too hott.
..having to shower with a bucket
..having dance parties in the middle of the countryside
..the stars all being upside down and backwards
..milking a cow and actually getting the milk to come out finally
..buying a pig for my birthday
..eating fruits i have never seen in my life before
..playing beer pong for the first time all over again
..being attacked and bitten by huge bugs i have never seen
..the whole town being without power whenever it rains. pitch black!
..having bird poop on my computer screen
..standing in a bus with my shirt off sweating fot two hours on my way to the fĂștbol championship


.....and many other things that i just cant post right now...
