Wrapping things up

I fly out of paraguay on friday. Thats two days away! WOW!
Its hard to believe that I am now an RPCV (returned peace corps volunteer) even though I have not technically returned. I feel like I have over stayed my welcome in Asuncion and its time to go home to Horqueta. Even though when I start to really think about it, I remember that there is no more home.

The watermelon house has been emptied and locked up. The owner of my house has decided not to rent it out anymore and that her son is to move in and start a bakery. (Se dicen). Last monday and wednesday we moved all of my furniture to barbara's new house and gave away everything that wasnt absolutely necessary for my travels over the next two months. Most things went to PCVs with a few prized items to my close Pyan friends.

I am homeless.
I feel a bit purposeless.
Hopefully neither will last too long!

This past weekend we had our group Despedida and Close of Service Ceremony. We celebrated with the most amazing cake in all of paraguay at the office on friday. The Director and our APCD (boss) said a few kind words. We were given certificates and PC pins, and it was over. It was pretty anti-climatic.

I am spending my final hours with my host-family from trainning. They are who helped usher me into paraguay and are helping usher me out. They will help take me to the airport on friday. There will be many tears, i image.

From here on out i will be traveling through the end of october/beginning of november. I will be maintaining my blog with updates on my latest adventures. Please keep reading if you are interested.

Thank you to everyone who has kept up with me and commented about my adventures! It has made my life richer and my experiences more fufilling knowing you are sharing them with me.
