Paraguay yacht Club & Tour Of Asuncion

The rooms are huge, the beds were great, the food has been wonderful!!! The boys are actually eating and sleeping now.
Today we toured the city of Asuncion which was established in 1811. We toured the House of Honor which included the tomb of the unknown soldier. The House of Honor is protected by a military guard. We then went to the Independence Museum where we learned the history of Paraguay - it was 1 of 8 vice kingdoms that was established by Spain. Asuncion was the center of the so called revolution and it established itself as the 1st Republic.
We then walked the streets of Asuncion and were told that the people of Paraguay were known as mestizos. They are made up of either Hispanic or Indians.
We spent time in the city and did a little shopping. Had lunch in the city in a mall.
We then drove to an American School that follows the concept provided IMG Academy. The kids attend school & play soccer there. The U15s played and won 1-0. The u14ws lost 3-2 in the last 10 seconds.
The boys were tired and were glad to get back to the hotel to rest.
Tomorrow we play in a tournament.

See you later.
