World Traveler

Well, in the last few days I have seen the countries of Brazil and Argentina, as well as one of the seven wonders of the natural world! It was a blur of scenery and an enormous testimony ofGod's AMAZING creation! Four of us from the school where I am teaching took a 2 day trip to the Iguazu falls that rest between Brazil and Argentina. Im telling you these falls make Niagra look like a trickle : ) It was so amazing, we spent part of the day at the falls, then we went to a bird park, then we took a tour around Itaipu, which is where the world's largest hydro-electric dam is located. We then went out for dinner at an authentic Brazilian resturant, they also a live show representing a number of latin American countries and their traditions and dances. We stayed in a hotel Tuesday night and then got up the next morning to head into Argentina where we were going to take a boat ride through the falls. WELL . . . we ran into a bit of a problem when we realized that the forestry workers were on strike and there was no way we were going to get through. I was a little dissapointed that I didn't get my boat ride BUT it was a wonderful day anyway. while we waited in the car for a few very HOT hours we all improved our card playing skills haha! So then we ended up going back and forth between the border at Argentina and got lots of stamps on our passports! We eventually ended up spending the rest of the day in a bordering city of Paraguay, we went to a wildlife refuge center and the zoo! So all in all it was so much fun! I had a blast, the two days felt like a week because of all we were able to do, it was so awesome!
