Photographer’s Note

Picture taken last night on our way to meet TE member kikvel. I have no idea of where we were - 2 hours from Assuncion. Thus, the info supplied is just a reference.
There`s a story to go with this one, but i`ll tell you later, monday, I hope.
Assuncion is colorful, happy, noisy, it smells tasty food and people are happy, friendly, and soooo smiling!
Stay well you. This trip is dedicated to all dedicated members of TE.
EDITED, tuesday, 21/6 -
We left Brasil in a delightful bus, and we were told the trip would last 3 hours, 3 hours and a half. As soon as we crossed the border, they stopped at a garage and we had to change to a kind of a van, tinny and noisy and there we went.
the rain began, we had no money (no guaranis, I mean, only reais and euros). 3 hours later the driver stopped in this gas station and we saw a guy talking on a cell phone. I asked him whether we could make a phone call in order to tell Cesar we would be late. The guy didn´t hesitate and lent him his cellphone. We talked to Kike and he kindly offered his house.
Soon after we return to the road, already night, a woman entered the bus selling a kind of a bread made of corn, we offered her reais but she didn´t accept. (We we hungry, btw:)) Immediately a man in the bus, to whom we haven´t exchanged a word, offered us two 'chapas'. They´re warm and just delicious.
Soon after Rinie said: 'we have been in Paraguay for less than 4 hours and we have already had a cellphone, bedrooms for the weekend and someone has already payed for our food - wow!'
This is Paraguay eventually: warm people, gentle and open to strangers.

To Dominique: when i put the cam in a steady place to make the picture of the TWO guys i thought to myself: finally i´ll have a composition without blur and the 3 primary colors. They noted me and began to look, kind of posing... I pretended I was looking to the viewfinder and at the very moment i pressed the shutter a car was arriving and one of the guys rushed to it, that´s why there is this unintentional blur, once again. Thank you for your support, Dominique. :)
