Versailles Itinerary:

4:00pm Cluny Museum

6:00pm Dinner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We spent most of the day in Versailles. Loved the palace, gardens, fountains, Trianon, etc!

We started at the Chateau then enjoyed a picnic lunch by the Grand Canal (see Reuben feeding the Swan that he swore he wouldn’t). Then, we finished with the Trianon and surrounding features. It was a beautiful day to be outside!

We caught the metro back in time to see the Cluny Museum, a collection of medieval artifacts near the Latin Quarter.

We got dolled up for dinner and a cabaret show, feeling very fancy and Parisian.

Asunción, Paraguay

Today's Lesson (12/13): Do yourselves a favor and Google Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Fracia. This guy, the first dictator of Paraguay, is a trip!

We spent the morning, starting early due to the 100 degree expected temps, exploring all of the amazing free museums this city has to offer. First, the Casa de la Indepencia, where the 1811 revolution was planned and Jesus offered us an excellent tour in a mix of Spanish and English that somehow made sense. We also visited the Cabildo with historic artifacts and viewed the Paraguayan "White House" along the Playa de Costanera. Next, we ventured to a darker history museum built in the torture chambers of the last dictator, Alfred Stroessner, who ruled Paraguay for 35 years until 1989. To clear our heads, we viewed some art at the National Art Gallery and got adventurous with Paraguayan fast food! We ended the day early with a siesta and dip in the pool at our hotel!

In December 2019, we traveled to Brazil for two weeks. Below is our itinerary for the five days we spent in Rio, a city with some of the most beautiful and unique topography in the world! Please note that our itineraries do not often include evening activities as we were advised not to be out at night in Rio. Additionally, we opted not to visit the North Zone, though we have provided some alternative schedules for those who may wish to. [ 2,137 more words ]

Asunción, Paraguay

Today's Lesson (12/12): The Paraguayan currency (Guarani) is one of the least valued in the world, so inflation has made us millionaires here. As in, $1,000,000 PYG is about $150 USD.

This morning, we awoke early in Curitiba, Brazil with only a short time to see the city before an afternoon flight, so we went for a run through old town to enjoy some final Brazilian ambiance. We took an Uber to the airport and had zero issues checking in or boarding. We did have a slight delay and some wicked bad turbulence, but the views from the plane were pretty great! I think at one point I could actually see Iguazu Falls, but I'm not sure.

I had been really anxious about getting our Visa On Arrival because I'd read stories of how picky the immigration officers were about paying with immaculate looking USD, but we had zero issues! I had gotten a slight bend in our money en route and had even considered ironing the money, lol, but that was so unnecessary! Once through, we bought some SIM cards for internet access. Paraguay is the only South American country we'll visit not covered by our Skyroam internet provider. Once connected, we easily ordered an Uber to our hotel, got settled, and went out for traditional Paraguayan fare at a restaurant opened in 1900! The waiter was very helpful in making sugarencias (suggestions) and we enjoyed our big ballin' $150,000 PYG meal very much!
