One Year In Photos




Visiting the beach near Buchupureo Chile
We have been in Paraguay for just over a year now. Before Kristi received a job offer here we would have struggled to find Paraguay on a map. Moving here has afforded us the opportunity to get to know a county that we likely would have never thought to travel to. Living here has also allowed us to visit several places we have always wanted to travel to in Chile, Argentina, Brazil.  Below are a few photos from our last year of traveling and living in Asunción.  We now have a car, a more pleasant living space and a slightly better grasp  of the language.  With any luck our next year should be just as enjoyable as the first one.
