thanks dengue fever....

on friday we found out that our trip to paraguay is canceled becasue of dengue fever.

from what i've heard paraguay is experiencing nor mal levels of dengue for this time of year, however their minister of health just died from dengue...so they declared a health emergency. personally i think this reflects more negatively on the minister of health than the dengue carrying mosquitos. i mean isnt dengue fever avoidance an important qualification if you want to be a health minister in latin america?

but im not too upset for a few reasons

1. i've been to the paraguay consulate. it was hot and and i got sweaty. i saw lots of paraguayos, and there were street vendors selling paraguayan food. it was almost as good
2. i already have my paraguay visa in my passport, and its really sweet looking, my paper trail says that i've been.
3. i really love buenos aires and im excited to be here for an extra week
4. im not really on the market to contract dengue fever
