I’m having a very Paraguay day today. I started by calling Mary’s sister who lives in DC to invite her to our choir program that we’re having in Maryland this weekend. Meanwhile, I was making sopa (trying to anyway). And while I cooked, I was listening to Obedira. I even saved enough cheese to make mbeju later.

I learned that our corn meal isn’t the same as their corn meal, so my sopa turned out more like a mix between the corn bread it should be and the corn souffle they also make. It’s tasty, it’s just not what I was looking for.

While the sopa was in the oven, I decided to put together a slideshow of various photos that span the year and some change I was there. If I ever get asked to do a photo presentation, I have one now. And when friends want to see *every* photo I have, I’m ready for that too.

Now all I need is a text from Kathy and I will be OK!
