new life :)

Today is day fifteen of my Paraguay adventure! I decided to start this blog because my notebook has been filled with school stuff and also all of you can have something to read! Anyway thus far of my trip I have experienced many different things. The first night of my arrival I had a severe case of culture shock. My house is about 1/4 of the size of my house in USA it is a straight hallway and branches off into Four bedrooms that are doorless and the hall also acts as the living room. You literately have to step over the couch to get through :) also there is a kitchen that contains a stove about two feet high with a non working oven and a refrigerator that is about 4ft high with a open freezer. Which is currently holding the Armadillo that was a gift from my sisters boyfriend... My family has also a back yard that contains about 10 chickens, two turkeys, three ducks and two roosters that along with other 300 in this city, find it necessary to "cockadoodledoo" approximately every three minutes at ALL hours of the day. I love my new family they remind me a lot of what I have back at home my brothers are the exact same as Jacob and alex were at ages 12 and 13 and my sister that is 16 is so fantastic. School is also fun they do not really do too much just like America I sit and draw because I am utterly lost. But all of the kids are so nice and help me speak and don't give up when I have no clue what they are saying. :) that is by far the hardest part of this all.
