Back from Iguazu - Off to Uruguay

We have returned triumphant and jubillant after travelling hundreds of kilometers by plane and a dozen or so on foot to see the famous Iguazu Falls, widest (and possibly loudest) in the world. Having only been to Niagara less than two months ago i can safely say that they are both monstrous cascades of mind-boggling volumes of water. And they are both tourist magnets. But the comparisons end there. Surrounded by sub-tropical rainforest and bordering three countries, Iguazu is beyond imagination as a natural wonder. I`ll be sure to write more about it and the whole trip, but it is late and i need sleep after three days of hiking gawking. Also we snuck into Brazil, sans visa, for a dinner and show - so there is lots more to tell and lots of stories to come in the coming weeks. stay tuned because the next ten days or so will be just as busy as anything so far, involving a day trip to Uruguay (bright and early tomorrow) and then off to Santiago and Chile for a few days with Michelle Culligan who is passing through on hewr quest for Easter Island (i am SO jealous!!). Then i settle down to study and write and contemplate and write some more for a month or so. =) As usual i will tease you with pictures that go well past the thousand word quota.
