Closing Up Shop
Hello faithful readers! This may well be my last blog from Paraguayan soil. I changed my close of service date a little bit, and I will be leaving the country June 3. After about a month in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and surrounding areas, I'll be heading back stateside! Crazy huh? And I'm already being bombarded with the harsh realities of paperwork and making your way in the American world. For one, I am trying to finish up my permaculture project and make it AWESOME to turn in (proofreading, anyone?). Then, I am also trying to spend lots of time with my friends and loved ones before I leave. Next, Peace corps is checking me up and down and having me fill out tons of forms and evaluations, and check in with just about every employee in the office. On top of that, I'm trying to get things arranged for my trip to Argentina. And finally, I'm setting stuff up, like insurance and housing at college, for when I arrive stateside. Whew! So basically that is my life right now. Not too exciting, and no fun stories to tell. But I will keep you updated on my progress! Best to you all.

I'll proofread for you. :)
BTW, the sum of your experiences, especially after this one, for someone your age, staggers the mind. I'm so proud to call you a friend!
It seems like you are pretty busy! You have a lot going on. You are returning to your home and planning another trip to Argentina already. It is too much, however I can understand it. Argentina is such a beautiful country that once you get to know it, you want to live there, or at least go back several times. I call it "the Argentina effect".
When I was there, I wanted to rent apartments buenos aires so I first got one. Then I started visiting every tourist and not tourist place in the country. Tango show, steak dinners, and soccer matches. I went to the beach in Mar del Plata and to Patagonia, where I saw the most amazing landscapes.
I would love to go back! Let me know and we´ll meet down there!!!
