this weekend was a long three day weekend, so me and five other girls decided to make a trip to iguazú falls. iguazú falls lies at the intersection of paraguay, brasil, and argentina, and it's a 20 hour bus-ride away. we were being adventurous.
friday night we boarded our bus at 9:30 in the madness that was the retiro bus station--think punk rock concert, then think of three of them. when i say 'bus', i don't mean 'yellow school' i mean 'full bed, wide seats, lots of leg room, and food', so the trip wasn't too terrible. we got in on saturday around 3, which didn' t leave us enough time to get to the falls that day, but we spent several hours at a very good pizzeria in the town adjacent to the falls. we stayed in a hostel that night, which was clean--all you can ask for.
the next morning we woke up at 6 to make it to the falls when the park opened, since our bus home left at 5:00pm. and once we got there, any ounce of regret we had at missing a weekend in BA flew out of the proverbial window.
the pic on the right is a close up of the falls i'm standing in front of in the pic up top; they're on the argentinan side.
this is garganta del diablo, or the devil's throat. it's the biggest fall, and it is closer to the brazilian side.querida,

Oh Ellen, I love reading about your adventures. I'm so jealous it's making me turn green, haha! Your pictures are beautiful and your host family sounds lovely (the mock mix-up with the engagement is especially comical). I swear, if you turned this summer into a book I would definitely read it.
Missing you,
Katy
