We took a trip to the outskirts of Asuncion to the neighborhood of Lambare. There is a large hill (cerro) where you can see the city and the river.

A pink Lapacho blossom. These trees blossom in the winter time all over the city. They come in white, purple, and pink, but we mostly see pink ones.

This weekend, we traveled to the town of Aregua, about 25 kilometers from Asuncion, on Lake Ypacarai. They have a strawberry festival happening. They are also known for their pottery. We walked around town, bought some pots to start a container garden on our balcony, checked out the lake, and went to the festival. We ate strawberry ice cream, strawberry cake, strawberry jam, and drank strawberry liquor. We also brought home several pounds of strawberries!
