Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW: June 2008
http://kaitlinmuir.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW. Monday, June 23, 2008. I went with a local family and when we got there there were a few games set up and a lot of traditional Paraguayan food- chipa (mandioca flour bread), grilled meat, empanadas, and cakes. The games included a greased bamboo pole with rum and chipa put on top to tempt people to climb it,and an effigy of a person stuffed with straw and fireworks and set on fire. Saturday, June 21, 2008.

Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW. Saturday, July 26, 2008. I frame, you frame, we all frame with A-frames! Listening to a Paraguayan explain technical info in Guaraní gave me some of the vocabulary necessary to repeat the information and communicate better to the people in my site and the community contact I brought has promised to work to spread what he learned in my site, too! Sunday, July 6, 2008. The fourth and fifth. My birthday was a blast and I spent the afternoon at Expo Paraguay which had s...

Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW: January 2008
http://kaitlinmuir.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW. Friday, January 18, 2008. I´m back on my Regina Spektor kick and have found the first verse of her song On The Radio to be very appropriate for my current situation. This is how it works. It feels a little worse. Moral is down a bit as I start to see some of the deeper problems of soil degradation and general health and sanitation in my community. Than when we drove our hearse. Right through that screaming crowd. While laughing up a storm. Until we were just bone.

My community has been very understanding about my desire to live alone and last Saturday I had eight Paraguayans cutting the grass in my yard with machetes! Work has actually been keeping me really busy lately! Saturday, February 2, 2008. But don´t worry, I am being sun-responsible, I promise since Peace Corps pays for my sunscreen! It will take a ...

Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW. Wednesday, December 24, 2008. So, after over a week of 100 degree weather I was thinking it might be a little hard to summon any ¨Christmas Spirit¨.

Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW: May 2008
http://kaitlinmuir.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Latin Scandimerica: life after the UW. Monday, May 19, 2008. Cerro Kavaju (Horse Hill). This excursion started with a text from a fellow volunteer asking me if I wanted to go rock climbing. Since I haven´t been into Asunción. In a while I naturally thought I was hallucinating when I read her text and immediately fired back a bunch of questions in attempt to validate my sanity. Well, I read right and because of this text met several fellow volunteers in the Cordillera Gobernacion. Thursday, May 8, 2008.
