Asuncion

Today Jacque and I walked around Asuncion. There are no stop signs in this city, and the buildings have grand European facades. The level of maintenance varys drastically from building to building. 

A view of the city from the riverfront.

 A building decorated with geodes and quartz crystals! (?)

 Jac admires building.

We went to a museum about the 30 year Paraguayan dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, who viciously ran the country until ´89. Part of the museum, which used to house a prison and torture location, had a room about the underground printing presses that people used to organize against the dictatorship. La prensa combatitiva!

 A motorcycle cart.

He watches over the street.
