So today was our last day in Asuncion and in Paraguay. Today was our big shopping day. We took the five or so block walk to the artesian market. Along the way we saw many local vendors on the sidewalks, and all of them were selling the exact same thing. Bracelets, purses, etc. But the actual market was amazing. Terere cups, hand-made magnets, wind chimes, and jewelry as far as the eye can see. I’m sorry that I don’t have anything on which to reflect, but I just noticed the repetition of goods from street to street and it struck me as kind of odd. Everyone’s getting emotional now (especially Maddy and Grace, who bawled for approximately one hour last night), and I am too. It’s a good time to go home, but I’m going to miss this place so much.
