what a long time…
A long time has past since my last post, well, life gets crazy sometimes…tons to do, I’m sure you can relate to that.
Today I woke up realizing that im traveling to Paraguay in less than 3 months, I still cannot decide for my airfare, it is so expensive in June because is high season because of the summer vacation. Rates are 1400 and up…that’s insane, for China I payed 700$ and it’s in another continent. =(
My friends are very excited about my arrival, some have tons of plans, even some want to travel with me around nearby cities, to take pictures and to get to know the other side of Paraguay.
Obviously Paraguay is much more than Asuncion, every city is so different, with their own lifestyle, own artisan work and own identity.
While there I’m going to have an online diary blog and register my day to day, things that I do, people I meet, places I visit, new things I discover, more adventures, tales, peoples opinions, general situation and zillions of photos of course.
I’m started my shopping for gifts to take home, Airlines just allow 2, 50 pounds suitcases, so I have to pick things carefully, it is a long trip, at least 24 hours…yikes! but it is well worthy.
Unfortunately this year my stay will be shorter than in the past years, I have to be back last days of August, so in Paraguay I will skip my “regular” person activities to take more advantage of the short time and maximize my stay…I’m becoming very practical.
I’m going to Mexico next week for 5 days and when I’m back I promise I will write about Paraguayan Currency and post some interesting photos of old paper money and stamps I found, I bet a lot of people are interested in this subject.
I love how some things evolve with time and I love even more the fact that some things never change =)
