This week is Semana Santa, Easter week. In Paraguay it is a big deal, the kids had school on Saturday so that they don´t have it tomorrow, Wednesday. They also have a tradition that on Friday you cannot eat meat only chipa...which is a dry bread, people here love it but for Joe and I that we can eat some fruit instead. During Semana Santa people said they don´t do much but get together with family and rest. We don´t think we will mind resting.



After my last post Joe reminded me that I needed to post a funny conversation that happened last week. I was walking with my community contact the first day we met them and we were going to get some juice. We were talking about how thrist we were and I said ¨Tengo sed. Aloha hugo.¨ Which means I am thristy, I hope there is juice. But Aloha was not the right word, I wanted to say Ojala (oh-ha-la) which means I hope so. But I said the Hawiian greeting instead. Ironically Aloha in Guaranì means juice. So really I didn´t sound stupid, lucky for me.
