'Twas the night before Paraguay, and all through the house...

So here I am, packing and preparing, and laundry-ing and buying.. and goodness who knew there were so many things one uses in a year.

I found out about my host family: I'll be living in Villa Hayes, which is about 30 miles outside of Asunción. There is "Mom" and "Dad" who are actually the abuelos of my host siblings (a 17 year old boy, and a 12 year old girl). So it should be interesting getting to know them. Makes me think of Nilo and Ekin... =]

My project sounds amazing - I am posting the website so you can check it out. I'm working at the "Farm School", which is a place where they bring high school aged kids and teach them organic and sustainable farming... right up my alley. I am not sure what I specifically will be doing, yet, but I'm hoping something with the farming part.

Hopefully I'll be able to update this with some regularity... I'm not sure about the Internet situation in my town. I'm pretty sure my family doesn't own a computer. But I do have a mailing address, and would love letters.

I'm going to miss you all an awful lot, but a year isn't so long, and I'm going to experience some crazy things.

Hugs and kisses to all,

Zanny
