I’m getting very excited counting the days to go, and I still have sooo many things to do around here, things and gifts to buy and that can be a little frustrating since I have to remember all of my friends and family and I never have enough space in my suitcases to take all what I got, usually airlines just allow 2 suitcases of 50 pounds and 1 carryon piece of 40 pounds, I already have 2 suitcases full…BTW, I’m going to stay around 2 months in Paraguay.

These days have been very busy, besides the normal activities, there are so many meetings and parties going on, I’m currently having a really busy social life, which is very cool, it feels like a community already, and I missed that feeling.

I was thinking yesterday about the things I would definitely do in Paraguay this time and I will name a few…fun fun stuff, take a look.

1- Keep this blog updated in a semi diary style, with anecdotes, stories, activities, my day to day in Paraguay.

2- I’m thinking about including some interviews of regular people (not famous ones) and translate it to English, so It will be cool if you send me some suggestions about that, maybe you want me to interview some person in particular I will try to do that.

3- Take plenty of pictures to share with you, keep doing my Asuncion photo essay with Jorge Saenz and maybe participate again in a Photo Exhibit like last year.

4- Visit Historic places and cities I never visited before, some are Atyra, Yaguaron, Missiones Jesuiticas, Caraguatay, Vapor Cue, the new Municipal Theather, among other places.

5- Eat empanadas, asados, chipa guazu, sopa paraguaya…among other great Paraguayan food. (unfortunately I can’t share that with you, but I can post some recipes)

6- Get involved in a community project to help children at REMAR and/or other foundations, try to get some donations for them, so if you know someone how likes to help please let me know, I will personally get involved in that and there is so much to do and to learn from these little children.

7- Study Guarani (time permitting)

8- Visit family and friends which I love!

9- Go to Luque to let create my New Silver Filigrana (Filigree)  jewelry collection. I can’t wait! I’m so excited to get my Collection done in Luque, it will be made of gold and Silver Filigree, plain silver and a combinations with stones, specially Larimar, It will be so beautiful, I already have the drawings! 

10- Enjoy the blue sky at Asunción del Paraguay, capital de mis amores!!
