I generally try to write positively about my time here in
Paraguay. I have never wanted to sugar coat, nor hide tough realities (God
knows the food post ruffled some feathers), but I certainly have posted less in
tough times than in good. This is partly because Peace Corps doesn't want us writing
negatively about the countries that so graciously host us, and partly because I
assume you don't want to read the musings of a depressed, boxed-wine-filled
twenty-something, but mostly because it hasn't been all bad. This blog is
filled with the incredible experiences I've had that I shared with remarkable
people. While I will always think fondly of Paraguay, here's the reality: Peace
Corps is hard, and it's not hard for any of the reasons people tell you.
