Your attention please

Just a quick heads up to a new site feature:

On your right, there’s a link to a page featuring the 2008-09 Tacuatí Ahecha group. As the project goes on, I’ll post some more student photography here. For now, get to know the girls a bit.

I´ve taken down the dedicated Ahecha page, but you can still see that content here.

Unroughing It

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

After an eventful, long, and long-overdue vacation to the United States, I’m safely back in Tacuatí. It’s nice not to be living out of a suitcase anymore, but I’ve had to start from scratch on acclimating to the heat down here. My tan is recovering nicely, though.

And as I’m getting back on the hora paraguaya, it’s hard to believe all that went into those few weeks. Great to see you, Mom, Bill, Katie, Dan, Preston, Bruce, Sandra, Colin, Zak, Laura, and Richy! Great to meet you, Rosa, Benito, Alba, Beno, Miguel, Santiago, and Juan Carlos!

Also - dog sledding:

And - the Grand Canyon:

And - Nogales-Sonora, Mexico:

Six time zones. Nine planes. And maybe a few major holidays in there somewhere. You tend to lose track…

The Guaraní word of the day is tembiapo, meaning work. Back to it, people. See you in seven months!
