Beunos Tardes (Good Afternoon),

This morning we had another early wake up call , which when we looked out the window we saw that it was jungle pouring outside!!! I (Sara) was a little sad that it was raining as I am like a cat and do not like getting wet! We managed to pack up our bags and get sorted out to make it downstairs for breakfast. I was super tired and was having a hard time waking up but managed to drink my cafe con leche and eat a bowl of fruit loops, some cheese buns, a alfajor (dulce de leche in a cookie format), and a mini croissant.

Our faithful driver the Argentinian Tom Cruise was waiting for us at at 730 am to take us to the Brazilian side to see the falls from that angle. We got through Argentinian customs with no problems and we were not even stopped on the Brazilian side which means no passport stamp , sad face.

The falls from the Brazilian side are way less busy and we had no issues getting on the bus to take us to the walking paths. It did end up getting busier about an hour later so we were happy to be there early again. The walk was less intensive, not as long as the trails on the Argentinian side, but you get a great perspective of the depth and the overall magnitude of the falls from the Brazil side. If you had the option of doing one or the other we would recommend the Argentinian side, however the best single viewpoint is from the Brazilian side, but the falls are much more dramatic on the Argentinian side.. so really just do both. Unfortunately, we did not see another Toucan and that made us sad. I offered to buy Tyson the Toucan stuffed animal in the gift shop but he declined. I guess we will have to go to Belize to see more of them. Just follow your nose to the fruits of the jungle.

We only spent three hours as it was raining and i think we are all still tired and dehydrated from yesterdays plus 40. Today it is rainy, cloudy, and only 22.. but humid. We now just have a couple of hours to relax, get some lunch (which means keeping Peter well fed because he has not learned the Sara trick of keeping a big bag full of snacks on you at all times! ) . We will be getting into Buenos Airies around 830´pm and we will be seeing Ian tomorrow morning at our hotel where we will probably have another relaxing day as I am sure he will be exhausted from travelling plus 24 hours. That is all for now. See you in BA.

Aidos,
PS we hear there is a lot of snow... whats the deal!
