Iguazu falls

Oh yeah, I also finally saw Iguazu falls this weekend! The waterfalls are a series of waterfalls along Rio Iguazu, that separates Brazil and Argentina. They were beautiful, mesmerizing actually. The best part is the Garganta del Diablo, or the Devil's throat, which is right along the border -- two-thirds of the falls are actually on the Argentine side.

On the other hand, perhaps I'm becoming a bit jaded by mother nature's beauty. I was expecting the falls to be more stunning, in the way that the Andes mountains seemed to hit me. But now I'm just being picky and unappreciative and a snob. So yeah, Iguazu was incredible.

Thanks, Google images.

Five countries, five days

In what has got to be the most intense country-hopping thus far, I will be going through five countries over five days, starting yesterday. Here's the rundown:

1 Uyuni, Bolivia
2 San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
3 Salta, Argentina (Maybe Resistencia, Argentina, depending on how tired I am... do I want to break up a 26 hour bus ride?)
4 Foz de Iguazu, Brazil
5 Ciudad del Este, Paraguay

By the way, I'm in Salta, Argentina. Just got here after a 11 hour bus ride from San Pedro de Atacama. Went over the Andes. Finished "In Cold Blood." Roomed with a Spanish guy in Chile who quit his insurance job in Madrid four years ago, and has since then cycled across Asia and is now cycling across South America.

Time for some Argentinean steak and wine.
