Today, Friday we are driving to Brazil as we have a 4am appointment with a tour to watch the sun come up over the Iguazu Falls on Saturday.
It was hot as blazes yesterday but we left the cool shady grassy campground to do a little exploration of nearby Villarica. 
By Paraguayan standards it’s a tourist town so they sell dust catchers along the highway. 
The town itself is a pleasant enough market town and it does have a central square so we stopped there and walked around a bit. 
There wasn’t much to do but Layne did manage to print out some documents for our tax returns and I bought a tube of silicone sealant and Rusty had a good long explore so we deemed the day a success and retreated 30 minutes back to our leafy grotto at the campsite…
…and went for a swim. 
In reply to a question about our solar output I can say with 860 watts on the roof we can live, in sunny weather, very well including running the roof top Dometic RTX 2000 all night which makes sleeping very comfortable. The a/c unit is 6,000 BTU which is half the power of our old Coleman 110 volt unit but it is better for us as this one blows a constant stream of cool air over our bed. The front of the van gets much less cooling but with a fan it’s quite comfortable as the a/c removes the humidity. We are very happy with the change. 
Guns? Urban wear?
There is apparently a resident homeless guy living in the park. I had to dissuade Rusty from visiting his shelter which my dog found fascinating.
And so it is time to move on and leave Paraguay and its eccentricities behind. But we will be back.
We really enjoyed staying at Attilio’s place:
He even brought us delicious fresh baked ham rolls for breakfast.
