We hiked all day today in the heat, man was it hot, at the Iguasu National Park. We got the park early so we could see everything. The little train out to the falls reminded me of the crappy train at disyneland. However, when we rounded the bend to the falls everything changed. The falls are awesome! I don´t know if you can really describe them so we´ll post pictures later but,.... There are countless falls spanning two conutries. They are literally split down the middle between Brazil and Argentina.
Last night we cruised down the river to where Brazil, Praguay and Agrentina meet. At the half way point of the cruise some local Guarani Indians did some dance for us but to be honest they looked pretty indignified doing it, I don´t blame them. Ah cultural exploitation, makes you feel good.
Anyway, today we hiked all parts of the park including the island in the middle of the falls so we could see everything. We were not smart enough to buy water when we could so we all were thisty and sunburned during our hiking adventures. I now have a white "wife beater" if I take my shirt off (red everywhere else).
Amie took a dip in the river after I took my boxers off so she could go swimming in them, otherwise she would have gotten naked for the swim - not that any of the Brazilians would have noticed or cared.
At 5:00pm we did our "Adventure package" boat tour. It was actually kind of cool though. The boat captain proceeded to "baptise" us in the falls. They drove the boat into the steam of the water falls in two locations and we aere SOAKED. After the total drenching we went down stram to a safari truck that took us out of the park.
Tonight we had a mellow dinner at the hotel and will be taking a taxi across the border from Argentina into Brazil to to catch our flight to Sao Paulo.
Meghan, totally elope, we´ll help you defect from the madness.
Jesse, thanks for the hook up we are totally going to try to meet your friends.
