Trinidad

Posadas is linked up by bridge with a town called Encarnacion in Paraguay. We figured we might take advantage of this and hop over to see what all the fuss is about. This is frontier land and one feels it with heavy military presence and a general rascism towards the Paraguayans. Anything that goes missing can be blamed on the Paraguayans. It is said that during the night, the Paraguayans will come over the Parana in canoes and steal your cows. Crossing over was quite an experience. Being so close to Posadas one expects a very similar thing of Encarnacion but it is a completely different kettle of fish. It is a very, very poor place. I won´t go into detail right now.
We took the opportunity to get a bus inland and visit the immense ruins of a Jesuit Mission in the middle of nowhere.
