This might be a long one -
Thursday afternoon we got onto a double decker bus to make the almost 18 hour trip to Iguazu. We left around 7:00 and drove through the night getting to a beautiful ranch Friday morning which was still about three hours away from our final destination. They had a huge pool, places to play soccer and tennis and a cozy outdoor bbq area where they make the famous Argentine "Asados". It usually includes just about every part of the cow, but they made me special vegetarian empanadas and grilled vegetables which was amazing and very thoughtful. We spent the afternoon hanging out there, enjoying some warm weather (finally) and drinking mate.
We headed to the hotel in Iguazu after that. Saturday morning we left early for the waterfalls which were beyond explanation. Even the pictures don't really do it justice. I took tons and I will upload them soon. The size of these waterfalls is unbelievable- I feel so lucky to have gotten to see them. A bunch of us took a boat that went just about underneath one of them, it was really a great day.
Later that night we had dinner and went out to see our tour guide play in his band at a local bar, then sat on the roof top and had a drink with a few people in my program. It was so nice to get out of the city and slow down for a few days. Its a little claustrophobic being around so many people constantly, so the break was needed.
Our flight was delayed about an hour coming back, it was raining pretty bad this afternoon but we made it home safe.
I will post pictures soon- Going to try and catch up on some much needed rest. Missing everyone at home, besos.
