After catching up on sleep we all had lunch at around 3 pm. On the menu there was vegetable soup, "bife koygua" (steak and egg dish), mashed potatoes, mandioca, rice, "sopa paraguaya" and flan for dessert.
Earlier that morning, we had played ninja tag with my little cousins who came to visit.
Osvaldo is the director of the Girl's Home. He stopped by in the afternoon to meet the team and to take some of the donations we had brought with us.
Miraculously, all ten of the plastic tubs filled with clothes, medicine, toys, school supplies and electronics (more than $8000 worth) went through Paraguayan customs without being opened and inspected. This almost never happens.
Later that afternoon we walked to the shopping center. After finding a McDonald's the girls had to try the fries to compare them to the ones in the US. The verdict= Paraguayan McDonald's fries taste better.
After dinner, my friends Melissa and Osvaldo stopped by to meet the team and to pray for us. We leave for Quyquyho early in the morning tomorrow!
