In April, my parents and I went to visit my sister Chantelle where she was living in Asuncion, Paraguay!
Dad outside of Chantelle's home... a lot of roads were stone like this one, but not main roads
saw this a few times - a tree in the middle of the road!
the children's home where Chantelle works every day
playing basketball some of the kids
walking around Asuncion
the view of the city
public transportation
a too-friendly lemur - Iguazu Falls, Brazil
another sign somewhere read: "don't overtake the boundaries"
still beautiful, even for a dry day
Chantelle and her friend Andrea, who lived in Lancaster for a semester last year
Andrea's mom took us to a beautiful park where we spent some time drinking terere, a traditional drink that everyone in Paraguay drinks. The cup (guampa) is filled with the dry tea and a straw with a filter (bombilla) is placed inside. Then cold water is poured into the cup and passed to the first person, who drinks then passes it back.
she also took us to the town where pottery is painted and sold. The pottery is made in a town close by.
Chantelle just came home late Thursday night, and it's so good to have her back after nearly a year!
