San Francisco and Yuty Pictures

Here's a few pictures from the past week in San Francisco and Yuty.  I was in San Francisco to be at the kids' club and for a couple of other things, then took the bus (last post) to Yuty where I got to attend my third different church in Paraguay, and went on a fishing trip with the men from the church in the flood plains...

5 on a motorbike!  A common sight outside of the main cities.  Brilliant.
The kids' club is held at the church -the church with no roof but rather a canopy of leaves.
Baseball game at the kids' club.
The church 'cinema'.  It works really well.
Ryan McK playing a local at checkers with beer lids.
The kid on the right has turned up at a few events, and he likes using my camera.  When his friend arrived they filmed a Street Fighter 2 style fight complete with actual hits and sound effects.
There was a grand river to fish in, but the locals preferred the drying-out flood waters nearby as it keeps the fish trapped and close together.
Hannes was on the trip so when a guy walked past wheeling his broken bike, Hannes fixed it for him on the spot for free!  The guy was so happy as he was about 10-12 miles from town.
There are a lot of rickety wooden bridges, and these big nails hold the planks in place, but as there is a lot of movement in the planks a lot of the nails are loose.
A truck crossing the large river bridge.
Sunset over Yuty.
