Update!

FRIDAY:
We went to Ricoletta in Buenos Aires to see the cemetary. There were a million really extravagant graves. Each little house had marble, granite and stained glass. Many of them had two and sometimes even three floors. The dead were really repected and I wish I could say our all of our hostels were that nice! Afterwards we went to the fashion show and watched a catwalk of men for the designer Hermanos Estebecorena. To tell you the truth, the guys looked like they were wearing clothes you could find in any boy´s closet... but it was still an experience. That night we cooked our own pizza (with fresh tomatoes and onions) in the hostel and it was muy rico.

SATURDAY:
Technically the first day of the guided tour with GAP Adventures, we checked into the Waldorf Hotel- not so impressive, but nicer than a hostel and a great location. One cool thing that I liked was that the key is connected to the lights, so if you are not in the room, the lights are off (great energy saving idea). Josh took us around town one more time and we saw the widest street in the world and visited Belgrano Plaza for the fair.

SUNDAY (goodbye Buenos Aires):
The nice thing about the hotels is that the breakfasts are great. We enjoyed some delicious yogurt and cereal!!! The plane ride to Igauzu was short, but was late. Coming into Iguazu was very cool. Even though it is winter, everything is so green and the trees looked like broccoli from the plane. We bought wine, cheese and fruit from the grocery for lunch/dinner and it was all delicious, not to mention cheap!

MONDAY:
I was wrong- we don´t get to go to Paraguay, but I saw it from a distance!

Anyway, although we are staying on the Brazilian side of the falls, we saw the Argentine side today. We wandered throughout the park and every viewing point is just awesome. Most of the group went on a boat ride below the falls, but we opted out and hiked the island in the middle instead (hey it was free). This morning was cold, but the sun came out this afternoon. We kept running into this group of young missionaries and they kept trying to take pictures of me and Stephaine because of our blond hair. We saw this a lot in Peru, but the people in Buenos Aires are much lighter and just really don´t care, so it had not been that bad lately. The whole park was really neat and we learned about crazy animals called Quachumundos and saw lots of birds.

Don´t have time for anything else, Doreen and Steph are starving. Chao!
