Paraguay: Country #87 on #200.

Image
Last month's visit to Paraguay was special for three diverse but equally important reasons. 1) It was my first time visiting this small land-locked country, thus making it eligible for the list . In the highly competitive game of Counting Countries, Paraguay now ranks as my 87th nation. 2) My friend, who for purposes of protecting the innocent, will only be referred to as Akapero, had recently moved to Asuncion and was, within a short time, firmly entrenched in the expat community. He was a knowledgable and enthusiastic guide whose only payment was the delivery of roughly 100+ pounds of Cuban food and coffee makers. Yes, plural.
