well then

Okay so the days are passing and currently my life is still moving forward in Paraguay. I missed Thanksgiving a few days ago though which was one of the weirder feelings i have ever had seeing that life is moving on without me back in the states and that i moving on without it down here. I got to talk to my family and it was not the type of resolution i thought it would be by talking to them it becomes more clear all the time how our lives are so separate now which makes me pretty sad.  

   I have been playing volleyball with a beach volleyball team! We practice at least five days a week from about 5pm to 9pm which is really fun but also it tells my body ¨hey your fat¨ every time i step out on the court so hopefully after a few weeks of it i will be able to shake that feeling. But, it is really fun and it is also great for my Spanish to be able to only speak Spanish for four hours a day along with meet new people and friends.The picture above is where i play volleyball it is dark because it gets dark around 6 here but that i really nice because it is so hot on the sand and outside to play before it is dark.Fun fact! it is a Paraguay law that during the summer you can not organize sporting activities (in the tense of a team, not just playing with friends) between 10am to 4pm because a large number of people die between those hours from the heat...yay i cannot wait until summer. 

  This weekend i went to some new city in Paraguay with my family i found out later the real reason was just to go to a German doughnut shop, sometimes i wonder if my family is not secretly American... Anyway we went out to lunch at a very nice place and had delish pasta, i had fetuccini  Alfredo (yes Joanna nothing has changed that much :p) haha  

This was on the way to the restaurant the lake behind us is sadly not clean enough to swim in this year :( because there are a lot of toxic chemicals and different pollution in it. These are two of my sisters on left Saida and on right Naila. 

  

the German doughnuts we went to get!

This was the view from the restaurant we ate at... Pretty rough view... 

And then yesterday i went to Lady Gaga! My parents surprised me and my sisters with the tickets! It was such an awesome show and it was also cool to see her bring diversity to this country by having black dancers and supporting the gay population.
