ola,
so friday we all came down to the capital of asuncion. there we checked in at the hotel, dressed up, and made our way over to the us embassy for jurnamento, swearing in. it was a nice little ceremony and i think they put us in the news too.
so officially, finally, after a year of waiting and three months of training we are VOLUNTEERS BABY!!!
haha friday was followed by a 48 hour celebration in asuncion!
i am heading back to ypane today until tuesday, to hang out a bit and say good bye to the fam. then tuesday, off to yegros!
finally started to heat up a little bit hear which is nice. hotel had a pool. yesterday went to a movie. saw plan b, or i think its the back up plan. whatever it was, it was terrible.
today we went and saw INCEPTION. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!i cant even begin to describe how much i loved the movie. haha felt weird leaving the mall tho. watching a movie in english, eating mcdonalds, i forgot where i was for a while. haha didnt realize how much i kinda missed that stuff. but o well, good to get one last taste. now i see why volunteers manage to make it back to the capital at least once a month!
other than that, not much. kinda sad, saying good bye to some people. but we will all be relatively close, sort of...
this weekend is the partido clasico. where the biggest two rivals in paraguayan futbol are playing against eachother, so the streets are dead right now haha everybody is watching. olimpia vs cerro. i am an olimpista. not sure the difference, only that they have different colors.
anyways, hope all is well! love you guys.
next time i post it will be from my sight!!
