The morning was spent at a local ranch with horseback riding, games, a treasure hunt, lots of lounge chairs, and a Paraguayan barbeque. You can\u2019t visit Paraguay without eating at a barbeque. Think Fogo De Chao at a fraction of the price. One of Paraguay\u2019s primary exports is beef. You\u2019re craving a good salad, it might not be easy to find. You want beef, we\u2019ve got you covered.\u00a0 I am so glad I did not have access to a scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later that afternoon we visited the church camp started by Tracy\u2019s in-laws, Camp Jack Norment. One of the more interesting stories from the camp is Abuela Roga (which means grandmother\u2019s house in Guarani, one of the official languages of Paraguay). When the camp was trying to buy land for expansion, there was a very old Guarani woman still living on the property.\u00a0 To close the deal they agreed to let her continue living in her one-room hut until she no longer could, at which point they would take over the land. Once they took over the land, they left the hut in place, hired people to play the grandmother, and told stories about her at the camp. In recent years the tradition has started to die off, but Tracy\u2019s father-in-law recently secured funding to restore the hut, which we visited during our time there. Also, as a part of the visit, the camp cooks gave a demonstration on how to make Chipa Guazu and Sopa Paraguaya, two traditional dishes you find everywhere in Paraguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
