Paraguay Window

It'll soon be 10 years ago since I spent 6 months in Brazil and Paraguay so I've dug out the old photos and will be putting them up here over the next couple of weeks.

These first ones are from the window of the apartment I lived in in Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay. The area was called Mercado Cuatro (roughly translated to 'Four Markets') and was the central area for farmers from the countryside to bring their crops and goods in to the city to sell. It was a little strange at night in the summer as the wives and children of the farmers would sleep rough in the street and each morning the farmer would bring in the crop for them to sell...the whole area became a cardboard city.
