Blessed by nature, Paraguay offers delights. Its colours, smells, and sounds are a feast for the senses.


Travels with my sister: from Peatmoor to Paraguay

Ridiculous: barefoot, shirtless, in shorts, in paradisal Paraguay

It´s hard to know where to begin . . .  in bare feet, under a mango tree, temp 40 degrees, wanting to go  for another swim in the river, or eat another banana from own garden . . oh how sweet they taste!.... from trees whose leaves flap and hang like elephants´ ears, as I watch two women driving cattle along the red dirt road, the older one looking resigned to life as she knows it and the younger looking resigned to life as she expects it to be, or maybe neither neither . . . .?

In a way, it´s all too much, too much to do with being not writing about being.

Even when it´s raining, with fat drops and claps of thunder, all is well in this paradisal world. You can be shirtless in the rain! The frogs sing! Rain running off broad leaves is a delight to watch!


A remarkable situation, that would hardly figure in anyone´s dream holiday, and yet . . .
