Well, I am back. I got in this morning at around 10am after a long flight. I was able to sleep during most of my flight from Miami to Argentina, though I am still a bit drained. I am spending the night in Asuncion; I dont think I could make the 4 hour trip on bus and then the walk to my site right after getting off the plane.
How do I feel being back? Well, not bad! Of course I am not really BACK in site, but still being back in Paraguay feels good. The weather is surprisingly nice. The strong South American sun feels good.
My trip back to the states was wonderful. I can't thank all of you enough for such a great time. I apologize for those I did not get to see, or those who I could only spend a short amount of time with. I was constantly on the move, seeing people, getting things for Paraguay etc. Even with all the culture shock and hustle and bustle, I had a fantastic time.
You all are the best. In fact, you did such a good job of making me feel right back at home, and showing me a good time that it was really hard to come back here!
Also, it was so nice to hear all the compliments and positive feedback. In site I rarely get compliments, or thanked for what I do. It is not really a big deal, I dont expect them to thank me and I didn't join the Peace Corps to be bathed in praises. However, it was a pleasent surprise to hear what you all had to say and I thankyou all for that. It was that type of praise that has given me the extra push, that motivational kick, to get me back here and wanting to work!
Also, now that I know more people are actually reading this blog, I will take more time and effort in preparing posts. Usually I just spit them out when I get into the internet cafe, and the results are sometimes a messy jumble of ideas. I will try to write them in advance for your reading pleasure.
Thats all for now.
Thanks again everyone and I will see you in 2010!!!
