Horqueta here I come!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I am moving to Horqueta, Paraguay. It is in the department of Concepcion. It is about 6+ hours by bus from Asuncion. To get there one must drive through the Chaco Desert or take a 24 boat trip down/up the Rio Paraguay! Do you know what this means?
#1. I will have the opportunity to wear my Chacos in the Chaco more often that I was expecting.
#2. There is only one stop in the middle of the Chaco and it makes some of the best Veggie Empanadas I have had yet! I am going to continue to eat amazing deep-fried food!
#3. I can take a boat home if I want!

The current Muni volunteer in Horqueta is amazing! He has done great work and set up a number of excellent projects for me to continue with. I will be able to jump in and work with the library commission, youth camp, garbage pickup, sanitary landfill, and much more!

I am also a proud new dog owner! Chris will be passing off the ownership of his loyal companion, Quito! He is a big, smart and sweet dog! I am thrilled!

I hope you are all well!

The the Montag clan! Please live it up in Chicago this weekend! Dance for me!
love,
rachel
