A Paraguayan Bakery in London

A true story. Back in 2003, I had to go to Brazil for a work event. As it was my second

time in the country, I decided to stay on and explore a few cities beyond Rio and São Paulo.

One of the places I really wanted to visit was Manaus, the Amazon capital. By chance,

a Paraguayan colleague, Diana, had the same idea, and since we were both in the Amazon

at the same time, we decided to travel together. We were like‑minded in many ways; over

three days we explored Manaus, did jungle tours, and took a boat trip along the Amazon.

We’ve stayed in touch ever since. Fast‑forward to 2013, a year after the

Olympics. We were both now married, and Diana decided to come to London
