Brents favorite hang out, waiting for the wet tee shirt contest to begin!
Feel the spray, and cool down!
A great way to cool down!
No Zoom lens needed here!
That will be us, manana!

Flocks (is that correct?) of Butterflies hang out around the misty falls.
Brent makes a friend. They like the salt on our bodies and land and hang out for a while!

We left BA (sadly) at 7 pm by bus, first class, which gave us seats that fold into beds, dinner and breakfast for our 16 hour ride to Iguazu Falls. Very comfortable way to travel, and very reasonable. $200 for both of us. We both slept well and settled into our new accommodations upon arrival. We have downsized and down priced a bit $30 per night for both of us in a cozy hostel, that includes breakfast and a pool! It is a bit of a rabbit maze to get to our room, and I am glad that Brent has no issues with carrying my 50 lb suitcase down 12 steps, along a corridor, up 16 steps, along a corridor, down a ramp, along the hallway, then up another 26 steps to our room! Our room is cozy, and actually sleeps 4, if you include the bunk bed, but for our big dollars, we don't have to share, and even have our own shower and toilet! Nothing but the best!
It is much warmer here than it was in Buenos Aires, and I'm guessing in the low to mid 30's.
We were up and ready to head for the Falls by about 10 am. Taller than Niagara and wider than Victoria Falls, the falls actually consist of over 275 separate falls. What is really amazing and fantastic, is that the area is undeveloped and very well set up for a park. We took the local bus into the park, and walked on the trails which eventually turn into metal boardwalks that bring you extremely close to the falls, above, and below, and even across them! I could have taken hundreds of photos, but tried to get the best ones up on the blog for all to share! Too much to take in with the heat and humidity, we are going back tomorrow to do more hiking, a swim and to take the speed boats that go right under the falls!
We plan to stay here for a few days, and "chill" as well as soak in the sun, before moving westward to an area called Salta.
