Hey thanks Grover for the info. With the help of Diane I
am using Photo Bucket. Thought I had all the pictures sized
right. 448 x 336. Something like that.

For my next attempt at picture posting
I will try and pay attention more. I am so
green at this. I can't wait to try cropping.

So much too learn so little brain cells.

Barb---remember to resize before you put them on photobucket---can do several at a time---but be sure you only downsize COPIES---protect the originals.

Sure enjoyed seeing both of you. And that very first picture you posted is my absolute favorite!

See you soon

Real nice trip report, Barbareno. I especially like the screen-size image of the two men fishing - great shot, makes me feel like I'm right there with my feet in the water. Thank you.

Hey Barb-

Glad you and Tim had a great trip and were able to give my mom a lift. Our baby, Gabriel, finally arrived early Monday morning. We plan on introducing him to everyone in Asuncion hopefully in November.

Thanks again for all the great posts.

Zac

Thanks again for the nice comments. I am
real new at this picture posting and even
taking pictures.

Jim and Lauri I think I know where you live,
walked by there on my morning hoof, saw
workers busy at it.

Zac congrats on the new addition. Every day
that we saw Zoe we would ask if there was
any news. This time because we had that
rental car we drove around town. We found
your place and Tim recognized it just from
the pictures you posted. We are so green
with envy. We are hoping to be back come
Dec-Jan again.

Capt. Mike has it right. Gooie duck. Zoe really
didn't have that for breakfast just wanted to
pull her chain in case she comes on here.

Diane I really want to play around with photobucket
once I get this report done. Practice makes perfect.

Well the majority of our trip was all about fishing.
Tim really wanted to get back in a Panga and land
a Yellow Tail.

A fellow that we met that was staying a couple houses
down from us asked him if he would like to share
a day out with Juan. Duh. Ed was into jigging for calico
bass and Juan knew just where to take them. On their
way back home they figured why not try YT.

I had been outside reading when Shari pops over to
chat and invite me to her place for tea (riiiiiight) when her
phone rings. Its Juan, they have caught a mess load of
fish and will be back in 1/2 hour. Bring your camera. Oh and
by the way Tim has caught the first YT of the season.

Well an hour plus later they finally showed up. Guess the
YT were biting hard and it was impossible to leave.

Here are some pictures of the guys coming in and their catch.

Then we proceeded to chow down.

Ed knows what he is doing on the BBQ
and if he ever offers to cook take him up
on it. That bass was awesome.

Shari treated us to sushi. My first taste
of it and love it. I have her secret sauce
and will give it a whirl myself.

Wish you could of made it down as well
Bajagypsy. Next time for sure ey?

The next pictures are right out our front
door. Kids and dog were having a total
blast out playing in the surf. That was the
place to be. Ahh to be young again.

Hey take a look at the last photo. There's a
sea lion in there. He was just minding his own
buisness when he comes along this party.
It sure did look like he wanted to be in on
the action. Lets play. Well maybe he was
thinking "I got me a smorgisborg". What
ever it was he had those kids hooping and
hollering up a storm. Actually we were all
screaming.

The Carnival arrived. Again we were staying
just a hop skip and jump away.

The last photo is very dear to me. Prior to us
leaving for Asuncion Tim informs me he wants
to ride a horse while there. "Say what"? Thats
what confirmed me that he is going through
male menopause. He hasen't riden a horse in
30 years plus. So I quickly jot down Robaxaset
on my list of things to haul down. This is as close
as he got.

Shari it was a week ago today that we left
your village. Snif snif.

Okay I am gonna wrap this up. May still post some
pictures during my learning curve.

Shari let me thank you again for the
wonderful memories. Oh dang I never
did talk about the horse racing day.

As some are already aware Juan, Tim and I
placed 4th in the YT tourney. And here is
proof that Juan landed it. Hope you can see
the smile on his face when he knew he had
a whooper on.
