Fellow Crop Extensionist PCVs Jordan and Mike came to visit in May. As you can imagine, I enjoyed playing hostess. We ate all kinds of delicious food, explored the forest (poor Mike got stung on the eyelid), Mike demonstrated his compost pile building skills, we visited Rio Monday, and even managed to film my house (video soon to be available). Here are a few pictures from their visit.
One of the most memorable parts of their visit was at the river. Mi abuelo, Kai Eligio, happened to be down by the river and offered to take pictures of us. You would not expect a 70-year-old Paraguayan man who has never used a camera before to be so willing to take pictures. But I felt like my Mom had taught him. He was telling us to move to different spots and he would take several pictures from different angles. It was too funny. After the photo shoot, we invited him to toss the Frisbee around. He was surprisingly very good. His did a wind-up action for his backhand. Jordan got some good actions shots. Oh, it was all too much. I was laughing uncontrollably. I love mi abuelo!
