Change of latitude, change in attitude…

Hello!

I am now officially a Peace Corps Volunteer, the adventure can start and the real work begins. We took our oath yesterday. We had the opportunity to meet the international PC Director Ron Cheedar and his wife Nancy who are on a South American Tour and are in Paraguay for the 40th Anniversary party on Monday. We also got to meet the American Ambassador to Paraguay.
We are celebrating this weekend in Asuncion with really hot showers and comfy beds! Its wonderful! (and we went out for Mexican food last night = amazing!)

I will be moving to Horqueta on Tuesday! I have a new address! Please note the change!

Rachel Newby
Barrio Las Palmas
Horqueta, 8820
Paraguay

(As you can see above – I don’t have a street address or a house number. It isn’t necessary. You can just send letters, care packages and sweet sweet lovin to my neighborhood – and ill get it! Believe it or not!) It is much easy for you to send things to this address than to the Asuncion address. This way I don’t have to take a 6+ hour bus ride to pick up my mail! So if you would be so kind - please send mail to this address! THANK YOU! AGUIJE! GRACIAS!

There has also been a lack of news filling up my email...so email me!
Many thanks to Bons, Claire, Neal, Grandma, Martha, Mom, Maddie and the Nation Clan for sending snail mail! It makes my day!
