July 22, 2016 · Asunción, Paraguay.
After putting the Sun to bed on the 167th day of my journey I ascended to the 10th floor of the Hotel Aspen, to watch the ascending of the moon, in a Asuncion, Paraguay named for the ascension of Mary and the birthdate of the Country of Paraguay and by happenstance, my birthday too, 15 August. With the help of Aspen employee, James, we made it to the secured, 10th floor to overlook the Capitol city and watch as the moon rose and danced between building and fence.
