Iguazu Falls

Dear friends, family and random internet stalkers,

We hope all is well back home and we are actually getting kinda excited about returning. We are lame and miss our beloved hounds......

Now that that is out off my system, here are some pictures of the Iguazu Falls which sit along the border between Brazil and Argentina. We were only there for a short period of time - less than 48 hours. We never went to the Brazilian side but we saw a tonne on the Argentinian side. This was the first time Lance and I experienced this type of jungle climate. There were actually monkeys on our balcony one day - Capuchins I think based on Lance's description. I missed them cause I was napping. DAMN IT!

We stayed at the Sheraton which was right in the national park - excellent location with everything within walking distance. It only cost us one of my kidneys and Lance`s right arm. Check out the view from our hotel room below.

This is a shot from the hotel bar where we enjoyed some vino and the view....and some eyedrops by the looks of it....

Lance and I at the Devil's Throat - the biggest fall at the park.

Beware of the coaties! These little buggers are known to bite tourists for their food and are generally annoying. I spilled some coca cola one day while we were taking a break and we couldn't fend them off from licking it off of the cement. Despite all the warnings throughout the park, we still saw many tourists getting way to close to these guys and even sticking their fingers up near the coaties' faces. WHY?

There were numerous bird species throughout the park, in addition to many types of butterflies and over 2000 species of plants.

Lance and I took a boat ride up the rapids and literally right into the Falls. It was a blast and we got totally drenched!

 Here are some shots from the Lower Trail:

And some shots from the Upper Trail:

 We both agree that this was one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. Mark and Doro, we think you would both love it.

Alrighty! That is it for now. We will try to post some pictures of Buenos Aires before we head home on Saturday.

Mind the coaties!
