So hot in Paraguay.

Now it's It is 10:48 pm and the temperature in my city is around 31 degrees. You may say ''What's the problem with that?'' Well, the problem is that here it isn't summer yet here, we are only in spring just.

Today in Asunción, at midday, the temperature was around 48 degrees. It was pretty hot. The good news is that in Paraguay, thanks God, we have a lot of drinking water. Paraguay has many rivers and streams, so the people can calm cool down in the high temperature. Foreigners people who come here feel are surprised because they can't believe that we use drinking water to do everything like take a bath, clean the car and watering the plants. It's common to see people drink a drinking called ''Tereré''. It's a drink what we prepare with cold water and some medicine plants and is drinking we drink it in a ''guampa'' with yerba. It's very refreshing and is a traditional drinking in my country. If you come here, you have to taste this.

Another thing very common thing we do here when here it's so hot, is the cut of electric energy because the transformers can not cope in spite of we our having two of the biggest hydroelectric dams of in America. Sadly, our authorities never search look for a solution for that so it's normal for us that any day we don't to not have electric energy for minutes or hours!

Anyway, the good side part is that this weather is utilized wonderful to go to take a sun bath or go with the family or friends to a swimming pool with family and friends. There are a lot of places to go to spentd time around of a swimming pool or a river. Paraguay doesn't have a sea so if we want to go to the beach, we have to go abroad.

Don't worry if it's spring or winter, here it's always summer.
