Here is Don Pedro, the head of the family who managed Mamorei Farm and Maria, from the family who owned the farm. We were welcomed with the words that our home is your home. Please come and relax.
A typical building with a thatched roof.
Impressive cacti. The farm was full of wonderful horticultural plots and many flowers were in bloom.
We were fed a wonderful lunch with three types of sopa Paraguaya (a type of corn bread) wonderful salads and a beef soup with delicious corn meal dumplings. Needless to say, when we were told to go and enjoy a siesta, Gary took it seriously. (Rose was in another hammock nearby).
The group enjoyed a vigorous game of volleyball. The hill in the background is part of a national park. It is the core of an ancient volcano. Local legend says there is a giant armadillo inside the mountain.
Anna Rose learned how to shape chipa, a delicious Paraguayan bread. You can be creative and she choose to make hers in the shape of an "A". They were baked for us and we ate them while they were hot.
