Freezing cold

 Although my friends north don' t think winters in  Paraguay can be chilly and freeze, let me clarify - they can. These past two months have seen freezing lows and cold days.  If you take into consideration that most homes in Paraguay are not insulated at all. So you get cold air coming thru the walls, from the roof and often poor window seals. 30 degrees Fahrenheit might not be so cold with all the climate control environments in other countries, it can in Paraguay.  To stay warm, I usually start my day with some exercise early in the morning and then do something physically related, about every two hours. That helps the blood circulate and keep me warm. We do have some heating units in our home, but since our home does not have insulation, those units cannot really keep the place all that warm.
