Stuck in Asunción

Hi again. We wanted to leave Asunción this saturday, but we couldnt cause there was no tickets until tuesday. We bought the tickets and had to wait a while for it to be fixed, talked to a woman from Argentina, talking good things about her country.
Next day we spent in downtown searching for the coat of arms of Paraguay to save as a memory, as we did from Brazil, but in Paraguay you must have permission from the police to have right to buy it. At evening we were so tired, we ate at Bolsi before heading back to the buss station and search for a new hotel, this time we found one for only 60 000 guarani.
Yesterday it was time for us to continue our trip to the south, to Córdoba, Argentina´s second largest city. In the buss station I bought new shoes, cant use sandals in Argentina now, its winter here on the southern hemisphere. I also bought a present to my sister, Rebecca, an indian bag and Paraguayan flags to me and Diego as a memory from this country. In the bus we met the Argentinian woman again, Iracela her name is, she sat on the seat beside us. She only spoke spanish, so it was mostly her and Diego who talked to each other.
The trip took all night, but the bus had a very good standard with dinner and breakfast, at the late evening they gave who wanted a glass of champagne to drink, very luxury, but I wont drink champagne ever again... bad memories from the student day...
This morning we arrived in Córdoba, and here we are. Argentina is my 8:th country I am in. This was all for today, bye!
