Iguazu cataratas
from CT
Flew here, got sweet simple room at Hosteleria Helechos and quickly found the local bus to the Iguazu Falls Park. Too bad we are not competing in that reality race travel show, because with SC unerring sense of direction, and ability to get CT to "race for the ferry" we would be hot competitors. The waterfalls were unlike anything we have experienced before, I think there were 7Km of them, any would drive Niagara to take viagra. This is in the jungle, but accesible by beautiful paths, with places to view the falls from every possible angle. Want to see framed by palm fronds, want to be near the bottm and get wet, want to look over the edge and imagine what each droplet might think at the last minute. There are catwalks that take you out over the most amazing falls, or to a point halfway down. Spent the whole day there, thankful for digital camera, because the price of film we would have used with Kodak would have broken the bank.
Just had mini internet adventure trying to get copy of voucher for Yacutinga eco lodge. Was successful, but CT had to share hits of mate´¨ with the internet store cashier girl to seal the deal. Interesting smokey flavor,great container, everybody here carries a thermos of hot water so they can mate any time, any place. Quake in your boots Starbucks.

Further observations from CT¨
What they have in Argentina ....
1 = strong desire to tuck the sheets in tight on every bed, you feel you have to decontruct to get into bed at night.
2= lab coats, long white ones, worm by all the kids in the country while in school, when 2pm comes and they all are walking home, looks like a parade of mini lab techs, eating candy
3= dog walkers, these super human types are common in BA, where they walk up to 20 dogs at the same time, all of them clean, not barking, not balking, only a few wearing muzzles, I mean the dogs, not the walkers. Eat your heart out Ginger and Andorrah.
4= No issues about driving at night without lights. I was shocked to see cars just using parking lights , or none at all, but then it was trucks, buses and even police cars. But this is balanced by the general lack of Vespa and mopeds, so all is in harmony.

I love it. It reminds me of how the kids in Laos rode their bikes home, all in uniform, the girls riding one handed, holding white umbrellas in the other hand, the boys would ride side by side and with multiple boys on one bike, the boy sitting on the back of one bike would have his feet resting on the frame of the other bike to physically link and synchronize the two rides...presumably to facilitate the passing back and fort of the Lao equivalent of after school snacks (like chicken feet).
I also liked the candy everyone ate during the evening promenade in San Sebastian, Spain.
