This morning we made arranged to join two other travelers and hired a van to take us across the border to Argentina to see the other side of Iguazu Falls. \u00a0It turned out to be a good idea because we had to make three stops.<\/p>\n

The first stop was to exchange money into Argentinian Pesos<\/em>. \u00a0Then we stopped at the border to leave Brazil and another official stop to enter Argentina. \u00a0The van dropped us off\u00a0at the National Park ticket office and Linda, our new friend Katie, and I followed several\u00a0paths through the dense tropical forest.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we had viewed Iguazu Falls from a panoramic distance on the Brazilian side. \u00a0Here on the Argentinian side, we were closer to the falls because we were above and next to the magnificent crashing waters.<\/p>\n

There were many\u00a0birds in the trees, but difficult to photograph. \u00a0I took one picture of a large toucan.<\/p>\n

A friendly young family on vacation from Brasilia, the capital of Brazil stopped to talk to us. They spoke fluent English. \u00a0They said they loved to travel and this was baby Elena’s first trip away from home.<\/p>\n
