never ask people to guess your age.

because multiple people have guessed i'm 17 years old.

how can they think that when i'm quite a few inches taller then most of them?

i don't know.

    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.

i'm really bad at guarani

Image
but hey, i'm learning. people here speak jopara. its like spanglish, but instead of a mixture of english and español, its the combination of español y guarani (not the prettiest language). they use a lot of little squigglies above their letters, that means you are supposed to make nasal sounds. i cant help but sound like i'm sick when i "speak" guarani. here are some of the words i know: vacapipopo: ball po: 5 or hand kuña: woman porã: beautiful (that would be a nasally a) póra: monster pirapire: money pira: fish mba'éichapa reime: how are you? yep. i'm basically fluent. if you memorize that, you're practically paraguayan. and here are some pictures for picture time: i think Paraguay has treated me with the best ice cream i have ever ever ever had. sometimes i forget i am working in a developing country. this was a really nice ice cream parlor, with gormet ice creams. i'm eating almond ice cream topped with a french chocolate ice cream. i'm sitting...

planet earth

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.

Little Visit to the Hospital Bautista

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 ...
