Last night we had the opportunity to do at a line dance at the San Juan Festival which is a big celebration in Paraguay. We watched the kids from the school dance cultural dances, as we as "our girls" from the El Puente home dance something they had choreographed. We also watched a guy climb a greased pole and a doll representing Judas being lit on fire. Judas also apparently contained fireworks, I wish someone would have told me that part. I was focused on getting good pictures when the explosions made me jump several feet.

Celebrating our countries together
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
Tonight we got to celebrate the 4th of July and show the girls how to make Smores over a campfire and then we set off fireworks (and of course they are perfectly legal here). It has been great fun for me to continue to learn from and celebrate each others' cultures.
