Wrapping up in site was a breeze. I finally finished my world map, which was 2 m x 4m and fun/a lot of work:
I've been traveling a lot with my boss, Elisa, so it's nice to check out some of the scenery across the country. Paraguay is completely flat in some areas and rolling hills in others. I still haven't figured out if there is a pattern or not.
Swine flu hasn't hit Paraguay yet, although they did make all volunteers and office staff get regular flu shots. I didn't want to but they forced it on me, and it gave me the flu just like I feared! I've had horrible body aches for 3 days and I'm hoping it all goes away because I've got a life to live that doesn't involve a lot of ibuprofen consumption!
Also last week we hosted an in-service training session for the co-op volunteers (Rural Economic Development) and their Paraguay contacts. Each sector does a meeting like this once a year, and it's always very helpful to the volunteers and their counterparts!
I hope you're all doing well and celebrating Mother's Day in the proper forms! Send me an email and let me know what I'm missing back at home :)
