tranquilopa

so life here is amazing. very tranquilo (chilled out).
its soo cool that you walk down the street and say hello to every single person that you pass haha well actualy you say good bye, adios, which is kind of hard to get use to but fun.

life is very relaxed. people just sit outside all day drinking terere during the day and mate at night (just a hot version of terere). it is pretty much water that you poor into a guamba which is a cup filled with herbs and you drink it out of a bombilla which is a filtered straw. everybody and i mean everybody walkes around carrying a thermost and a cup. people will invite you over to drink all the time. it is more of a social thing haha but very awesome and addicting. but apparently it turns your teeth green by the end of service haha they make a poinbt of saying that they will not pay for whitening your teeth.

anyway

we have partnered up and started looking for small projects to do while we are here. me and andrea are partners and we have decided to try and get lighposts put into the areas where it is dark so that people wont have to be scared when walking down the street and night and to hopefully lessen the crime. we will see how it goes.

love you guys
