....THE MOVE

So its been months since my last post. sorry guys, the mayor stopped paying for internet service and i have to borrow my friends comp inorder to get on so i dont like to spend too much time on it......

but well dont now how to update you all on everything that has been going on.....but the truth is most of the same projects are probably still the same. hasnt been too much progress in the past couple months.

ill just give a list of things that stick out in my head....

-killed three chikens with my barehands then ate them. was pretty.....interesting haha wasnt sure if i was going to be able to do it.

-tomorow is the 200 anniversary of the independence of paraguay from spain. big deal. parades, parties, and bullfights across the country.

-asmost of you probably know i have recently moved myself out into the countryside. its a simple one room house of bricks and mud. no running water. TWO outdoor bathrooms, one is filled with wasps and the other is filled with...well.....shit
but there are millions of stars!!! it is crazy relaxing. i have one neighbor and the other is about 200 meters away.
there are any type of farm animal that you can imagine. my favorite is called the wei. i think in english it is an ox but not sure. they use it to pull carts. its pretty much a gigantic bull. but its one of the biggest animals i have ever touched.
i sit out at night, cook on my little coal run stove. very theraputic hahaha
evreymorning i get up, sweep, bring water from the neighbors well then go to my other neighbors house to eat breakfast and chitchat...
i eat lunch there too and then afterwords i get to do some farm work....how cool is this....
first we heard the sheep....then we go cut down sugar cane and mandioca and bring it in a wheelbarrow to feed the cows and the bulls. and the humans too and the dogs!!! haha we all just sit there eat sugar can together. the other day i started pushing the wheelbarrow and about 15 baby cows smelled it somehow and started chasing me ahaha i had to fight them all off with a piece of sugar cane.....mmmmmmm

what else
