In my AMIGOS life, things are going swimmingly. I applied for a grant to do a large park project in one of my towns and I got it! All my volunteers will start building stoves for 7 families each in their towns this week as well.
By far the most exciting thing that´s been going on is the Copa America..kind of life a world cup just for Latin America. Last night we all went to an ice cream shop to watch the game the Paraguay Brazil game and Paraguay won!! I was probably the only sad person (for Brazil, that is) but then we left the store and the whole town was crackin. People were driving in their cars in a parade around town--while drinking of course--and playing the Paraguay national anthem, waving flags and cheering. I even saw someone firing up a grill and barbequeing some meat in the back of their truck.
haha, Brazilians were pretty pissed. Not one of those penalty kicks even went into the hands of the goalee, they all just bounced up into the stands!
