C is for Chipá

C is for chipa. On the way to San Bernardino.

One of my favorite things about traveling in Paraguay are the vendors which jump on board buses at just about every stop.  They sell just about anything one could need on a long trip.  Socks to snacks.

Chipá, a type of cheese bread, is by far the most common snack and the good stuff is served warm from the oven.  I’m not quite sure how those guys manage to deliver oven-fresh chipá to the aisle of just about every passing bus but they do and it is an excellent for staving off hunger on long bus rides.
