Foz Do Iguaçu

These pictures ended up out of order, despite my best efforts. Oh well, you get the idea.

This picture is sideways but the background is where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet.

So the answer is a river. I thought the Foz do Iguaçu picture may be a hint for you on the previous post. I think all this movie business is a bit obsessive and plan to stop mentioning any trivia in the very near future, but back to my previous question: what does a river have to do with the joker and Heath Ledger's January death? Quickly, what if his death was a joke? What If it was all just to fool the people because he's a mastermind joker. The batman comic titled "The Killing Joke" is what inspired Heath Ledger's character in the new Batman movie, so maybe he took that title literally. Besides that, nothing. In fact, my joke was more of a riddle implying that maybe the Joker is really the Riddler, another Batman villain that I don't even know his role will be reprised. The highlight of my semester was going to Iguacu Falls and I wanted to show you pictures and a bit of the story which I will tell you about now:

Our approximate twenty-hour bus ride was almost enjoyable. Talking with others, watching movies and times of study got me through the bus ride. We got into northern Argentina and stayed at the NICEST HOTEL I"VE EVER BEEN IN! I wish I would have filmed some of the hotel. Anyway, we went to the Argentine side of the falls first which I thought was amazing.

That's my spoken (and written) understatement of the trip.

We took a motorized raft (which cost 40 dollars, not included) to be IN the falls. As in a bunch of water falling directly on you at very high speeds. That was a rush. Oh how I wish I could go back!!! Seriously. But alas, I have no pictures to prove that I did that, understandably. That was on Sunday.

We went to see a (huge) major dam, the Paraguay/Brazil/Argentina border (which consisted of a big river) some Guarani indians, an aviary, an awesome dinner show (many drinks come in glass bottles here) and much more on Monday and the rest of our week! 

So the cool thing is that our tour guides were father and son. The son was 22 and he was really cool!! He knew a bit of english and conversed with us well. I think we're going to play ultimate frisbee with him this Friday. 

Speaking of ultimate frisbee, I ended up getting a pretty nasty lip/nose during the game. Looking back I think it is funny. My red blood matches my red shirt!

I don't know.

Basically, our visit to Iguacu Falls made doing study abroad in South America well worth it!!!
