From the age of 9 until the fall of Stroessner my life was a sequence of exiles. These began within Paraguay, in San Pedro del Paraná, later as an adolescent in Montevideo, Uruguay, and have extended for several years through my life in the United States. It is in New England that I now live with my husband Ray Faith and son Edward Faith. One irony of history is that now my first cousin Fernando Lugo Méndez has been elected as the president of Paraguay, where he is struggling to undo the harm that the years of dictatorship did to our country.
Here are a few photos from a trip to Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil.
