Just to let you guys know, some of the blogs may talk about things that happened a couple of days earlier. This is because I still write all of the time, even though I may not have an Internet connection to post everyday!

I stepped outside of my hotel this morning just to get a breath of fresh air, take a few pictures and observe natural life here in Asuncion. If I had to sum my experience up in one word, it would be movement. There are many buses, cars and pedestrians everywhere we go, significant of the fact that this city is alive and well. Everyone has a different story and many of them are interested in my story – “What has brought me to Asuncion”. My interaction would range from the frequent “thumbs up”, to the gratuitous smiles, communication through signals (because my Spanish is not good at all!!!) and the rare instance of a native that speaks English. One thing that has remained consistent through it all has been my acceptance. I must say that I have not encountered any negativity from the people here and for that I am truly grateful. It encourages me to continue to be a good person and not to let go of my dreams of this world one day being a peaceful place.

Here are a few pictures of this beautiful place and some of the things we’ve been doing:

The wonderful guys at this restaurant where you get all the meat you can eat… I can’t remember the name of it!
