Dios Mio

Iguazu is breathtaking. Everyone come here. Everyone take a plane, skip the 18-hour bus ride. Everyone pay way too much to stay at the Sheraton. Don't scrimp on this trip. Save your pennies. Drink cheaper beer. It's worth it. Here are some reasons why:

• When you get a new plate at the breakfast buffet, the waiters replace your silverware with new pieces. At dinner you get a complimentary caipinrihna of which the first sip makes you choke because it's so loaded with booze.
• You get the experience the park with no one around. I didn't see a soul for the first hour I was walking the trails.
• Even if you don't pay for the waterfall view rooms, there is a terrace at the top of the building that lets you see ALL the falls. Most vantage points within the park only let you see one set at a time.
• You can see lots and lots of wildlife. I saw hundreds of green parrots, eagles, egrets, herons, hawks, coati, nutria (like miniature ROUSes), and TWO cayman. (Julie - I thought of you and the "fucking gators.")
  
  It's amazing to me that the rainbows showed up so well in the photos.

This was trip one to the "Devil's Throat." I went in the early morning and the late afternoon to get different light.
This is the "Devil's Throat" from far away.

And in the afternoon for the rainbows.

That´s a vulture warming up his wings in the early morning sun.

This view would not happen one hour later, too many tourists.

Parrots as far as the eye could see. I saw some toucans too but the pictures suck. Strangely enough I recognized one flying because it looked exactly like the Guinness ads.

Simply amazing.
