Sales, Food, Leaving, & Babies (pictures)

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.

Tyler McKissick smiling at the food needed for a family of 8 to last a couple of days. 
New Arrival, Anna Reich, at the dinner table.

The two Reich kids are now 3.
Ginny and Anna.
