The march of the Paraguayans

Yes, it’s true.  Our friends from the south have made their way to the frosty north just in time to experience a blizzard–here’s a group photo at the welcome party at the Kallenbergers.

Bienvenidos!

Summer 2010 Exchange–fun!

As part of the trip, students did some cultural presentations in Encarnacion.  Jasmine Sims did a pretty nice job of explaining the blues and singing at Eurosur on presentation day.
