I lived in Asuncion for about 6 weeks the summer of '06. It was before I was really travel curious and well before FT. So I didn't go see many places or do any kind of tourist activities. But I thought the city as a whole had a very nice feel to it.

Spent a weekend working a youth camp at the Kendall Country Club on Ypacarai Lake. It's fairly close to Asuncion. We saw several people out on boats and a few brave souls kiteboarding.

Over one long weekend, a group of us went down to a horse ranch in Pilar. The weather was great and the landscape was not at all what I was expecting. It reminded me of Texas, but with wetlands. Took a half day horse ride (my first) through mostly wetlands with occasional stops in tree groves to see groups of wild monkeys jumping between trees. Very memorable.

Another weekend trip was to see Iguazu Falls. Not too many words to describe how great this place is.
