I cut my finger, so I couldn’t write for a while…but I’m back now, as usual life is pretty busy and I’m finally getting back to the routine…which is good in some senses, the totally not routine that I had is Paraguay was crazy, was great great, but I couldn’t live that way everyday…It is just one crazy adventure, and you don’t even know what is your next day going to be like…it is fantastic, I just love it, but on the other hand I cannot live a hippie life without a minimum structure, it is great 3 months a year…

People write me a lot to find out all the things I did and eat in Paraguay…here are some
