It's the 14th of May marking the 201 year anniversary of Paraguay's independence from Spain (also the anniversary of Israel's rebirth -that is the day the first world leader, Harry Truman, recognised the reborn nation).
Here are some pictures from the last week or so in Asuncion...

Asuncion Christian Academy has a once-a-year sale that has become a big event. |
 |
People set up stalls of second-hand stuff in the basketball court. |
 |
The McKissick stall. |
 |
The Stout stall. |
 |
The Reich stall. |
 |
Since coming to Paraguay I haven't had a decent self-made meal save for egg fried rice I made a fortnight ago, and this home-made pizza yesterday. Two bites and I took a picture because it was so good. Ready-made pizzas here are astonishingly expensive (like £5 quid!) |
 |
The Camerons building their car reminded us of pioneers using stagecoaches in Western movies. |

The two Reich kids are now 3. |
