A couple of weeks back I was in Yuty and one day I got to travel south to Incarnation, and as I'm editing the film I took in Yuty I thought I'd post a lot of sights I saw along the road between Yuty and Encarnacion.
 |
| Raphella's perfume smells like 'Booz'. Not so appealing for those with UK English. |
 |
 |
 |
| I promised my FM friend Paul that if I saw parrots in Paraguay I'd take some pictures of them for him. Unfortunately they aren't all that exciting. |
 |
| In a jungle hotel in Encarnacion there's a large tree with a shrine to Mary. :( |
 |
| Paraguayan baby wanting terere. |
 |
| A huge toad getting prodded into life by Dan. |
 |
| Old map of the region in a Jesuit museum on the road. |
 |
| Looks like he has been speared, but is carrying a huge pole for use with a barge. |
 |
| Jesuit ruins. |
 |
| Small fry dog. |
 |
| One of the oversize lakes created by damming. Nearby there is a house 90% submerged. |
 |
| A typical roadside stall. |
 |
| A major road constructed around the perimeter of a new lake. There were 2 cars in the 15 minutes we were there. |
 |
| The sad remains of the torn-up Paraguayan railway system. The country is much less tourist-friendly because of it. |
 |
| A pup separated from its litter. |
 |
| A good place to plant a bush. |
 |
| It's not uncommon for cows to roam freely in the streets, although the local fuzz sometimes escort the rogue bovine to fuzz station and farmers pay fine much like parking tickets. |
 |
| A dead tree pretending to be a pylon. |
 |
| One of the towns used to be named after a chief from ages past called Bobi. |
 |
| The other end of the town had a different chief. |
 |
| A place that looks like a coffee shop only won't sell coffee so I don't know what you call them. Well, besides 'cafe'. |
 |
| Wide Load! Besides transporting 5ft strimmers, the most popular dangerous article to carry on a motorbike in this country is the 15kg gas canister. |
 |
| A road cutting across one of the now flooded regions in the south of Paraguay. It's quite serene. |
 |
| Nice flowering bush. |
 |
| A frog living in the bathroom. |
 |
| Frog caught by a kid. |
 |
| Frog prepared to be transported outside. |
