So, on one of the coldest and rainiest week ends of the whole year we went to San Pedro to celebrate two nieces 15th birthdays. The guys butchered the cow while the ladies prepared for the massive cooking! I was kneading 25 lbs. of flour/bread. Oscar was chopping wood for brick oven. Then...we started cutting and cutting.Every once in a while we had to take a break beside the fire, just to warm our hands up a bit and drink some máte together.
Even the kids made a fire for them to sit around...and pop popcorn over the flames! When they weren't by the fire, they were all huddled together watching a movie...
Ok...three posts in one day is ENOUGH!

These are sooo Paraguay!
Again...brings back some fun memories from when I visited San Pedro and Abuella butchering a pig, and also (the wrong) chicken, and the family getting together.
The cold weather kept everyone close together to keep warm.
Looks like everyone was enjoying the day.
Love the photo of everyone watching movies all bundled up!
What a great memory of spending time together.
