This is our group standing on the bridge that is the border between Argentina and brazil. I am on the Argentina side.
Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. It started out good with these delightfully little cheesy puff balls at breakfast. Then we were off to cross the border into Argentina to go to the falls. Once there we went straightaway to start our boat adventure. The boat ride took us up the river to approach the falls from the water. We had a few minutes where we could have our cameras out, but then everything had to go into dry bags as we approached the falls even closer and went for a shower.
It was pretty amazing, seeing the power of the water, and being right at the bottom of the falls. As you approached the falls it was pretty awesome as you looked up for the first few seconds, before you were soaked with water and couldn't see anymore. It was fantastic!
We spent the rest of the day exploring platforms and trails, all with stunning views of falls from all angles. They have great systems of suspended pathways over the falls that take you out to great vantage points. Many photos were taken. It was stunning and fantastic.
Towards the end of the day we took a small train they have within the park up towards the top of the falls, where there is a 1km pathway out over the river that turns into the start of the falls. At the end of the pathway is an amazing lookout into the most powerful part of the falls, called the devils throat. From here it looks likes a huge rapid that tumbles down into nothing but mists. Insane power and so much water.
Last night we went out for all you can eat pizza, which pleased me very much. The night before had been all you can eat meat, including peacock and (Kristin, avert your eyes) rabbit. The servers bring out tray after tray of different varieties of pizza; garlic, sausage, chicken, veggie, Stromboli, and many others. The end was the best part though, dessert pizzas! Nutella and strawberry and my favorite, a creamy white chocolate sauce with coconut and strawberry. It was fantastic. 14 pieces later, we rolled home and into bed! A great day! The hardest part is deciding which pictures to share!
Miss you all, much love!
