Paraguay Pictures

Here are some pictures from our trip to Paraguay, this was in mid October, so yeah I'm a tad late in putting this up. Y que? Anyway these pics are in no particular order.

Here is an asado, or barbeque. Even Blair agrees that they know how do a good BBQ!!!
Yes, I loved having fresh fruit constantly at my disposal, its too bad is wasn't guava or mango season.
The ruins of Trinidad, they are very well preserved.
I don't think I have ever been so excited to see asphalt in my entire life. And the fact that goats are standing on it is just icing on the cake. The steering column in our vehicle broke in a city surrounded by horrible dirt roads, so in order to leave we got to a paved road as soon as we could, it was a longer distance but a shorter travel time. This was as close as Blair got to drinking some terere, though I had my fair share, and brought home a few kilos home for good measure. Iguazu Falls. Amazing spectacle of falling water. Our time there was enjoyable, and peaceful, it was the coming and going that was the really eventful part.
Here's a good example of what traffic is like, motos everywhere!!
Here is the 2nd time we changed tires leaving the falls, this was the spare, we had a jack but no tools to use it, nor a lug nut wrench. We stopped in front of a hotel, where we borrowed tools, and a coco stand, where we avoided the attention of the police, which was good since we didn't have Brazilian visas.
This was the best part of the trip... for me, I'm not sure about Blair. Being able to see, talk and spend time with people I served was definitely the most rewarding part of everything. I never thought I would see these people again, it was so worth it.
A Big Pig
Hamburger and Hot Dog... street vendor style... Mmmm.
A butterfly that was fond of me.
At the zoo there was only a chain link fence between us and the crocs, so we got a nice pic, up close and personal. Way to show some teeth crocy.
Our 2nd and last flat. It was only 5 km from the airport on our way out of the country, so nothing too stressful. This time our jack was the problem, only lifting the vehicle like 2 inches, so we had to wave down a guy in a truck who could help us. And we made our flight in plenty of time so all was good.
