Q:  Can anyone tell me if there is information on the web about the wonderful ice cream parlor in Asuncion called "Sugar?" Thank you! 

pieter_jan_v profile photo

A: I have to look into this one. I lived there in 1980 when the first parlor opened; wonderful icecream. Don't know the "Sugar" one, but it will have a look. PJ

 Chicken and Beef is very affordable in the city. It is not a very spectacular city but you can see some early buildings.
