I was climbed on a tree, and I see eight, nine, ten and eleven bottles, that these wonderful artists posed gracefully on their heads and struggling against the wind. The applause and support of the people are the best factor to help with the focus and professionalism of the dancers.
20:24 - In Paraguay, today May 15th is also celebrated the Mother's Day, and I was proud that my mother has been participating with her fellow from the group of Ballet Folklorico Municipal of Aging. My mom made history, and I was totally excited.

Muchas gracias por acompañarme en esta fiesta, aún quedan festejos por realizarse, pero ya no tan grandes como los de ayer y hoy que fueron los principales. Estaré presente en los días siguientes, y quiero aprovechar para agradecer a toda la gente que encontré en estos días en el microcentro que se acercaron a hablarme, a felicitarme, a contarme sus experiencias, a hacerme sentir de alguna forma con cierta relevancia ya que no escatimaron en palabras buenas hacia mí. De nuevo, muchas gracias a todos, me hace feliz continuar compartiendo con Uds. detrás de las palabras e imágenes que adornan este blog que en diciembre cumplirá dos años. A seguir con la fiesta, no guarden sus banderas, no guarden su fervor ni mucho menos sus ganas de seguir colaborando en lo que se pueda, para tener un país mejor. | Thank you very much for joining me on this party, celebrations are still held, but not so bigs as those of yesterday and today, which were the main.
