An entire year ago we visited Punta del Este, Uruguay. We hung out at the beach, got sunburned (wearing sunscreen, strong sun), saw a fun Carnaval parade, and had a generally fantastic time (if you like, you can ask Sam about the cute and tiny jellyfish, as a rebuttal to the fantastic time statement).
I moved back to the United States after living in Asunción, Paraguay for two and a half years. I'm not unpacking my household goods, nor am I speaking very much Spanish, and I have mastered how to drive like a crazy person. I'm still having amazing experiences. I am actually crazy. I love to read, run, and hang out with the boys. I have four, the oldest is nearly 16 (YIKES!). I also have a 13 year old, a 10 year old, and a six year old. The youngest still deserves the nickname "terror." In English and Spanish.
