Three Weeks in Asuncion with our newborn
Hola Amigos-
The wife and I were lucky enough to get parental leave (hers paid mine not) so we've been making the most of it. Just before heading to Baja, we took
our son Gabriel camping at Mt. Laguna and he was great. This time, we thought we'd take him to our place in Asuncion. We had a great time and wanted
to share some of our vacation with you.
Here are the pictures:
Part One:

Part Two:

And I did a short write up on my blog (see below). Some of the highlights, though, included the surprise baby shower, time with our neighbors and
friends (including my mom who is down there now), working on the casiita, and the wide-open fishing. We're hoping to sneak back down for New Years if
we can.
Enjoy!
Zac

Thanks Zac, we really enjoyed meeting you, Tracy and Gabriel. Looking forward to spending more great times together in Asuncion. Jim and Lauri
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

So after a huge lobster feed at San Pablo, we returned to our casita ready for bed. As we pulled up to our place, though, we saw a bunch of people at
our neighbors house carving what I thought was a pig. They were having a family reunion and thus I assumed it was a party.
Well, their son, Luis, comes running over saying in Spanish that we need to come over. I was tired and was going to pass until his mother, Angela,
also said we needed to come over and look at something. So we walk over to see a huge fish that they had caught earlier in the day. They said the
fish was caught north of San Pablo on 40# test for 2.5 hours. They guessed it to be 100+ kilos. We enjoyed the festivities for a while thanking our
neighbors for including us in their festivities.

Zac, the slideshow is spectacular! I had no idea the inland areas around Asuncion are so scenic. Gabriel is a charmer, no doubt. It will just keep
getting better. Wait until his tiny voice utters the words, "Dad, I love Baja", your heart will melt! Can't wait to plan a camping trip with our
little men. How 'bout Pancho's in 2010? Hugs to Tracy.

Fantastic pictures Zak. I was sorry to see the pictures come to an end. It is so cool seeing your dreams coming true. You all look so happy. Hey
did you let the cats out of the house at all?
Your working so hard on your place and I love watching the process. Love the table. And that tile you did on the wall.
Wish we were doing what your doing.
Seeing alot of familar faces again was such a treat....thanks for sharing.
Oh and that Bass. Can't get over that. Must be what some people call a mystery fish. The fish that breaks rods.

No no no Diver. As cute and adorable as Gabriel is, that is not on my list of things to get.
But we will need a cat.

Thanks everyone-we are currently in Arizona with the grandparents and will take Gabriel to the Ironman race here. Who knows if he'll follow in my
footsteps in that regard.
Barb, our cats our indoor cats although one did make an escape on our final day. Never did see a mouse on this trip!
El Camote-I'm all over a visit to Pancho's...just give me some advance notice...I guess you did.
We'll continue to share our adventures.
Zac
