Almost Done

Its been a while since we did a posting, but we have been really busy and haven´t really had reliable internet. We spent 3 days in Corrientes, it is a very old city that was settled by the spanish. It is the city of murals. We had 2 radio interview and 2 newspaper interviews. We had two Rotary meeting in Corrientes that were a little difficult, but we made it through it. After Corrientes the Club from Resistencia picked us up and we boarded a boat and went up river to Paso de la Patria to a vacation beach house. It was awesome and we really needed the down time. We spent Fathers Day there and we all had our families on our mind. Then we took the boat back down to Resistencia where we spent a night there. We had a great pizza party dinner with some great dancing after dinner.

The next morning we spent some time in Resistencia where we learned more about the culture. Resistencia is the city of sculptures and we met some local artists and viewed some of the sculptures. After lunch the club drove us to General San Martin, where we were well recieved. We spent two nights in San Martin and the people in the club were awesome. You could say we were smothered with kindness. On the last night we gave our best presentation and then had another great night of dancing. The club in San Martin is the youngest in district and it showed. We were sad to leave.

We are now in Formosa and we spent one night here. We were treated to some great live music last night at the Formosa club. It was our last Rotary club meeting of the trip. Today we leave for Asuncion and we will spend one night there and we catch a plane to Buenos Aires tomorrow evening. Tim leaves from Asuncion to the States. Rod, Nima, and I will spend two nights in Buenos where we are free to do as we please. After 4 weeks of having everything planned for us, it will be nice to finally be in charge of what we want to do. We have had a great trip and met so many wonderful people, but we are exhausted. We will show our photos when we return. This might be the last posting of the trip, but we will see. Thanks for reading!
