Iguacu Falls! (Brazillian side)

Sunday November 21st.

We spent a relaxing Sunday morning getting ready for the bbq and a visit to the falls. Murilo and Marizette prepared a delicious steak bbq for our lunch, which is the main meal of the day here. We were joined by Karolyne, Bernardo, Luis, Alice, Luigi and a couple of other friends.

After that we set off for the mythical Iguacu Falls. These are the falls that Kristian told me were much better than Niagara (at the time I had never heard of them!) You judge from the pictures what you think. Unfortunately, it rained for most of the time we were there, but it didn´t dampen our spirits or detract from the beauty.

I was happy to see the birds that nest behind the falls, darting in and out of the water to get to their nests. I had heard about these birds from a National Geographic show in Toronto after Kristian had told me about the falls. Couldn´t get any photos though and I´m not sure of the name of the bird.

We spent three hours walking along the trails. Then back to the house for a late afternoon gathering and some delicious carrot cake made by Karolyne. Then when the friends went home, Kristian, Karolyne and I watched a movie called The Kingdom, about an FBI raid into Saudi Arabia to reek vengence on some terrorists who killed one of theirs. Good action but typically American.
