(Top to bottom)
A few more photo’s to sum up my Paraguayan life
Puppies!! They would be sold for 500 mil guarani’s each. That’s about $100. They’re purebred.
Permaculture farm. This is a biodigestor. Basically pig poop and water are put into it. The gas is used to cook with and other byproduct is used to feed the worms which break down the input into organic matter (this is a separate location not in the biodigestor). It’s a very sustainable and economical system.
Our tour guide holds up the bag that is full of poop. This is set on top of the organic matter when it’s decomposed enough to be used. The fresh poop draws the worms out of the soil and into the poop and thus they can be removed because the poop is kept on the bag.
Kendall and I eat homemade ice cream at the farm
