Checking it out
I just got back from my future site visit. I like it up there. It’s really peaceful, my co-op counterparts seem organized and ready to work, and once again I’ve won the host family lottery. The bus routes are brutal, but if that’s the worst thing I have to worry about then life is going to be pretty sweet.
On account of being pretty zonked right now, no pictures, but there will be plenty more to come.
The Guaraní word of the day is takuati, aptly enough. It means cane. It’s applied to sugar cane and bamboo in a neologic sense, although in pre-Colombian times it signified a native species of reed.
