I had no idea what was going on until two Peruvian looking guys stopped by about 10 minutes later. They asked me to get in their car and I was driven to a dock on the Paraná river. There was a rowboat moored there which they eƯiciently paddled across the river. At the other end of the river was Paraguay.

When we got to Paraguay, I was met by a fiftyish woman wearing black with a lit cigarette hanging over the side of her mouth. She spoke rapid fire Spanish with an Italianate lilt like many Argentinians do. I postulated that she might be Argentine but really didn’t know. Nor did I know her name or have any idea what the trajectory of the mission was at this point.
