I have rashes. Paraguay is interesting, nice in its own ways. Fruit grows everywhere, but the locals don´t eat it. I eat it all for them and now I´m sorry for it. I have weird rashes, 3 unique types, and the medicos don´t know what it is, any of them, maybe food allergies. I eat mangos for breakfast and lunch and dinner. Didnt work out so well with my skin. The people are very nice here. I live with a family of 5. I have 2 brothers and a sister they are all around 10 years old. They refuse to eat the fruit in the morning because they say their stomachs can´t handle it, but then my mom eats 20 mangos at exactly two o´clock. I´m not making this up. these ones are actually about peach size, but it is still a ton. They drink a tea called terrere many times daily which is not like out tea.. check it out on the internet if you are curious, but they are crazy about it. the people I´m working with are really cool and they are waiting on me now so I´ll update soon.

Hey Tom!
When are you going to post your photos? We want to see where you live, your family, and your casa. Hope your rash gets better.
HI TOM
I am glad to hear from you, and I can't wait to see your pictures and know more about where you live. I can't wait to hear more from you, and I miss you very much! Liz

I agree with your dad, you need to put pictures up of where you live and of your host family. I look forward to hearing more about your adventures and hope those medicos figure out what to do about your rash. Take care.
Thomas!
Hi Tom,
I don't know about everyone else, but I want to see pictures of those rashes. I hope that you are having fun otherwise! I miss you a lot and so does your hairy girlfriend!!! I love you! ~Kate

Is your rash from the heat? Or food related? Try eating fish from the ocean. Glad you made it, looking forward to your photos of where you are living and your host and family.

Hola Tomasito como estas? I definetly think you should peel the mangos first and not eat the fuzzy stuff in them....I'm so happy to hear you are somewhat settled. I want to see your new familia...letti

Hola Tom
Hey Tom, I'm sorry to hear about those rashes. Hopefully they won't stick around for too long. I just got back from Guatemala yesterday and I'm a little jealous that you get to hang out in the good weather. Keep the blog coming. Jake
