must be a de la Cruz thing because I get it all the time (and I'm betting our lovely Abuelita and mothers had that trouble too). Beautiful, youthful, no complaints.
it started last night. there is a new cool intern here from Madagascar named Melody and she will be working at the self-sufficient girls school, managing the hotel there. she made the best Ratatouille i've ever had in my life. don't worry, i got the recipe. we ate it with rice and a rosemary chicken. to top off the delicious french flavors, we had a flan, same flan i made a few weeks ago. "YYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMM" - Caleb about 10 minutes later, people where headed to bed and i stayed around talking to those night owls. ALL OF THE SUDDEN my upper lip started to sting. ouch. i figured it was my skin, i've having some problems with eczema on my face and they have been giving me a burning sensation, but this was a little different. i went upstairs to brush my teeth and looked in the mirror. LO AND BEHOLD my lip was growing in front of my eyes. a sight to see. so so so strange. i figured i would sleep it off. but the sleep didn't do a thing. i woke up, my lip ...
i went to a magical place called Mbaracayu . it is an all girls school that is self sufficient. the girls come from places like brazil, paraguay and a few from bolivia. i went with a handsome group of people, Juan, Ton, and Leah. we left on Wednesday at 11:00 am and arrived there at 7:00 pm. i love bus rides, but any ride that is more than 2 hours can be difficult on the heart and soul. a part of the trip was over an uneven dirt road. but people selling chipa and playing music on their portable radios made the sojourn more bearable. we arrived in a little place called Villa Ygatimi and spent the night there. Leah, reading The News from Paraguay 6:30 am, a man picked us up and drove down a dirt road into the reserva. this is us at the entrance: Leah and a Mika after we were feed delicious rainforest breakfast, we went on a rainforest walk. i can't remember the last time i was in a rainforest like this. Mexico most likely. i love the smells, the sounds, ...
i love watching planet earth. each episode features a habitat on earth in high definition and shows some close ups of wildlife. sometime i feel like i can make a little planet earth video here. woke up and there was a giant red, fat centipede crawling slowly by my bed (and my bed is less than a foot away from the floor), and i'm pretty sure that thing can jump... i think. and then that night i was in the kitchen and then a rat, bigger than a pregnant guinea pig was leaping across the floor. i really do like nature, but outside. Leaving Comments: also, i have learned that not everyone who follows the blog knows how to comment on it. allow me to teach you. there should be a little link on the bottom that looks like: #comments. (ex. 1 comment). if you click on that, that link should take you to a page with a text box where you can leave your comments. and if that doesn't make sense, this link may help: LEAVING COMMENTS besos.
