Since then we have been for a few outings, either walking or
on the back of her motorbike. Motorcycles are far more common than cars, and
almost everyone uses them (without helmets, needless to say).
From one edge of the town you get a great view of the sunset
and also of the smallest aeroplane I have ever seen, which makes deliveries.

On the opposite side of town is Ykuateja, a spring with the
magical property that anyone who drinks from it will return to Paraguay…
In Guarani, Y=water and kua=hole, and in Spanish teja=roof tile.
Yesterday was even hotter than usual, so we made the longer
trip to the Chorro – half an hour on the motorbike along the dusty red road and
then a grassy track. This was the destination:
Quite idyllic!
