A great place for sun!
Our hike into the falls.
Red Snake warning. ( Anne watch out!) We don't want to step on him!
I don't know what it's called, but they like to steal people's lunches.
Close enough for you?

Today, we went back to Iguazu Falls and hopped on one of the boats that goes right up to the falls. We dressed lightly, as we knew we were going to get wet, but didn't quite expect HOW wet we actually got! The boat went so close to the edge of the falls that we could see the rock underneath, and the spray was behind us! It was lots of fun, very refreshing and exhilarating!
After a rest in the sun to try to dry out, we went on a self guided jungle walk to see some more falls. This is by far the better way to experience the jungle, as the other option was to hop on a big 4 wheel drive buggy that carries 20 people, and the noise alone scares the animals away. So, we were lucky, and saw a Toucan, a rat-like animal, huge with no tail, two snakes and several large lizards. Only missing animal was a monkey!
We have enjoyed the town of Iguazu, as it is quite small, but has great restaurants, and shops to keep busy if you need a break from the falls. It is the first town we have experienced where they take their siestas seriously. Everything shuts down from about 1 pm until 4 ish. I can see in the hot weather how that makes sense, as they then stay open late until 9 or 10, when people feel like wandering the streets again.
Tomorrow, we take a long long bus trip 11 am until 12 pm the next day, to the North Western part of Argentina, to a town called Salta.
