My Life as of Late

Exciting events come less and less frequently now, but I think it's because I'm getting used to life here and there's not so much new stuff. Because of that I'm not really sure what to post about lately.

Yesterday the governor of our Rotary district visited Coronel Oviedo, and came to our Rotary meeting last night. At about 6:30p.m. we all met at Charlot, a restaurant in Oviedo (the ONLY restaurant in Oviedo basically, and a block from my house) to talk with her. And by we, I mean all of the inbounds, outbounds, and some of the rebounds from our club. The inbounds all talked with her together about how our lives are going in here. We told her what was our favorite part about life in Paraguay, and she shared some stories as well. The governor seems like a really sweet lady. When I first met her I didn't know she was the governor, I went to say hello to her and do the usual greeting and she pulled me in for a hug! That was unexpected but really sweet. Even nicer when I learned that she was the governor of the district.
After that meeting Caroline and I went to my house to wait for the actual Rotary meeting, that started at 9p.m. In reality, it didn't start until around 9:30 because that's how time works here. You can be really flexible with time and arrivals and such.  Anyways, all of the inbounds had to make tables that represented their countries. We're from four countries, U.S., Germany, Denmark, and Belgium. Hunter (from Minnesota) brought some maple syrup for people to try (there isn't any here), and it was a hit! Also Manon (from Belgium) brought Belgian waffles, and she was at the table next to us. So we decided, why not let people try waffles with syrup? They loved it! Marius, Oskar, and Friedrich (the Germans) brought 2 bottles of German beer for people to try. It was kind of weird, but not undrinkable. Caroline and Oskar both sang for us, and I'm now convinced that Caroline is an angel.
So all in all, I had a good night at the Rotary meeting, and didn't get home until around 1 in the morning. That's just life here though, you know?

In other news, my Spanish improvement has started to slow down.. and my English is getting worse. For example, if Blogger didn't have spell check I would have spelled English "inglesh". That's the truth.
It's nearly been two months that I've been here, which I refuse to believe. Time is already slipping away from me. Monday marks two months, and it's also a holiday so we don't have school. Double win!
