Es la primera vez que...

(It's the first time that...) 

...I ever opened a bottle of wine. Family, you failed me.

...the boys ever tried to light the grill without Osmar. I'm just surprised they weren't all crowded around it together. And then Osmar did show up to save the day. Thank goodness for Paraguayan boy scouts.

...Iker has ever been so happy. Well...maybe.

...I have no idea. But I'm willing to bet it's a first!

We had a cook-out last night. It was great fun and great food...that we didn't end up eating until midnight. Such is life in South America.

And today, nearly everyone is out on a hiking/rappelling/rock climbing/zip-lining adventure. So what am I doing writing a blog right now, you ask? Well, despite the fact that it's kind of nice that the house isn't swarming with people, I still only have one thing to say about the whole situation: damn knee.
