Update 11

I haven't written much about our evenings out when we get on bikes & head outside the locked gate. There's a nice bike path that threads through a large park area next to the Parana River where large cargo ships pass by regularly. They have to go under a large bridge so they blow their loud, deep, low horn each time. Several sailboats, fishing boats & a few scull boats too. Many fishermen line the walkways but we've only seen a couple fish caught. As we ride along the bike trail, we pass lots of couples sitting in webbed lawn chairs often with folding tables or on a blanket or just the grass and almost all are sipping mate. Small kids have riding toys and kick balls. We meet many other bikers, skateboarders & roller skaters. After about a 30 min ride, we stop at one of the several restaurants that overlook the river. We've enjoyed all our meals…especially the crispy French fries. Only one meal made us laugh. We'd looked at pictures of the menu item & thought we were ordering onion rings on top of a piece of fish. Wrong. The rings were squid. Tasty! We usually sit there quite awhile enjoying the evening breeze off the river just people watching. It's most certainly a pleasant way to end the day!
