Views around Town

The picture on the left was taken as we were on our way up to Mt. Febe(faybay). the city is much more lush than I has imagined, however there are huge open areas of red dirt as the rain forest was cut back and erosion occurred. The picture on the right is what we call a "Circle of Death". That traffic circle is empty because it was a national holiday (Asuncion?? I think). Normally these are filled with yellow taxis all fighting their way through. This was taken from the Hilton- we met a few staff members for extremely expensive drinks.
