Recenlty we went to a San Juanazo. A san Juanazo is an catholic celebration of the death (birth, I don´t know and neither to most people) of Saint John. There is a big festival that has lots of different aspects included that (from my perspective) have nothing to do with catholicism. Anyway, some of the volunteers and I decided to go to the festival in order to learn more about the culture of the place where we are. I and another girl are from African--American decent. The photos seen below did not help my security feeling down here at all. Take a look.
Recientemente fuimos a un San Juanzao. Un San Juanazo es una celebracion catolica del muerto (o nacimiento, parece que nadie sabe) del San Juan. Aqui hacen una fiesta grande, pero el problema (para mi) es que parace que los caracteristicas de la fiesta no tiene nada que ver con catolocismo. Bueno, para aprender mas de la cultura de paraguay, unos voluntarios e yo decidimos irnos a la festival. Otra voluntaria e yo somos de asendencia Afro--Americana. Si te acuerdas de la historia de morenos en EEUU las fotos que aparecen abajo, debe de explicar nuestor temor, y la incomodad tremenda que sentiamos estando en est lugar.
