Today is the day!Today is the opening day for the World Cup! This is almost like what the Olympics would be to people in the states. People are going totally crazy. My kids can think of NOTHING else!
Last night there was a Kick Off Concert and today, in just minutes...they are starting the opening ceremony.
Guess what, President Lugo says you can watch it in school! What a way to skip classes! Yes, we will project it on a huge screen for the whole school. If we wouldn't do it, the kids would skip school. Gaby was already figuring out ways to stay home and watch the first game South Africa vs. Mexico. Paraguay plays its first game on Monday, and once again, Lugo "gave orders" for the game to be watched at work, at school, on the street, or where ever.
So, Go Paraguay!
Vamos Albirrojo!

I like your new design.
So - can you quiz them on pertinent details of the game- or have them write essays or bios of the players to make it more like a school activity?
LOL! I think it is fun that the president designates world cup viewing as school "work"!
Karen, did you even know what the world cup was before you moved to South America?
All I can picture now is the little groups of people sitting on chairs on the sidewalks, watching someone's little TV in the doorway all over town! What a reality picture of PY!
aunt heidi- they ARE investigating different teams and people. and yes, all day yesterday they watched the World Cup activities IN SCHOOL!
LindaSue - I don't think I even knew what soccer was
Mom- soooo true, but yesterday and today it was too cold, they were probably all huddled around a coal burner and drinking mate. Cute!
