I woke up early one morning (about 4 am) to the sounds of gunfire and cannon booms. I started freaking out. Looked out the windows and couldn't see anything. Turned on the tv, but heck if I can understand Spanish spoken so rapidly! So I called the States and got hold of Mark begging him to turn on CNN and find out what was going on in Paraguay. I was convinced it was another political coup and I was caught in the middle of it! He couldn't find anything in the news, so I sat in my hotel room planning how I'd escape until breakfast time rolled around. Once I got the nerve up to go to breakfast at the hotel, I found out that it was just the military's monthly exercise of mock fighting out at the port. Oh, well, gee - somebody could've warned me before I had packed all my stuff up and developed an elaborate escape plan!! :)Jonettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978535882148085879noreply@blogger.com
