Time flies

Another day, another rushed trip into Horqueta, although I´ve exacerbated this one by not prewriting my e-mail and entry here. So forgive the typos; I´m working on less revision time than usual.

I’m in town to help with a friend’s winter camp and attend a volunteer meeting. I’ll be one of the old ladies at this meeting. I now have more time behind me in my Paraguayan stay then I have ahead of me.

The Guaraní word of the day is mita´iguera, meaning children. My friend´s camp has about fifty kids ages four to ten. We made soy empanadas yesterday, and today is game day.
