On the road to and from the campground, about five miles there lie a few dustcatcher stores. 
Luckily we have no room for full sized statues and bulky works of artisanal art.
The main road between the two main cities, Asunción and Encarnación is a smooth pleasant freeway. A rarity.
Since the alternator was fixed we’ve driven a chunk of it to charge up our batteries and test the installation. So far so good.
