After three and a half years I finally made it back to Paraguay. Now keep in mind I only spent a summer in Paraguay, so my return experience there was significantly different from what it will be like when I return to Morocco, since I stayed there for nearly a year. The funny thing is that my experience in Paraguay was only the beginning of my amazing relationship with my host family and love for the country. After leaving Paraguay I've maintained nearly daily contact with my host family, and during my departure It had promised to come back. My return was something that had always been part of the plan. Going back was amazing and I am extremely happy and thankful that I have such a great relationship with my host family, and I truly feel that they are a second family.
Speaking of returning, I recently found out that I received the SALAM scholarship. It is a five week scholarship to Oman. It looks like the time to revisit my host countries has begun, so Oman is the next one. I will be there for five weeks in the summer. Inshallah I will be updating my blog as I continue my Arabic studies!
