Here I am getting drenched by the mist coming up off the 'garganta de diablo' (the devil's throat), the largest of the falls here at Iguazu. I am also including a great video Stephen took of the falls just before the torrential rain started...
Right now, we are at Iguazu Falls. We arrived yesterday afternoon. It was 40C (almost 110F). Fortunately, our hostel has a huge swimming pool. It even has a concrete island right in the middle of it! We spent most of the afternoon in the swimming pool. It was great! They had a happy hour at the tiki bar with 2 for 1 Capirhinias, yum! The hostel had a really nice barbeque last night. First, we helped ourselved to the all-you-can-eat salad bar. After we sat down, waiters wielding plates piled high with huge steaks and BBQ chicken came round. We helped ourselves to as much meat as we could eat.
This morning we headed over 'the falls national park'. We took a train to the 'Garganta del Diablo', the highest cascade in the park. It was really impressive. I am adding video to our blog. We got drenched by the mist coming up from the falls. As we left that trail, it started pouring with rain. We went to lunch to see if the rain would stop, but it did not. It rained all day. We decided to head back to the hostel because it was so wet and cold. Luckily, we have another day and a half to explore the falls. We will go back to do the rest of the trails tomorrow and this time we will bring ponchos with us :-)
