About this blog

My husband and I are embarking on an adventure into the unknown. We will be serving in the Peace Corps in Paraguay for two years. This is a picture of two of my friends holding yuyos, or herbs. Paraguayans are extremely knowledgeable about medicinal herbs, and they like to put tasty ones in their terere, a kind of iced tea. These herbs were picked in the garden belonging to my friend's host family.
