Iguazu Day 2-The Falls

Day 2 started with an early wake-up, breakfast and then a ride into the park. Once there, our intrepid guide, Gustavo, told us our route and led us in. We started with a look at the falls from the top, and as you can imagine with every new angle came a new photo op...Here is Levi looking very Indiana Jones, ready for a jungle adventure!

Me and Dad from the last lookout.

And again...the falls

Falls

Bretty at the falls. This picture was taken before she met with her arch nemesis, the guy who took a million pictures and a video of his wife at every stop. We literally had to wait at one stop while he took about 4,000 pitures of her at very slightly different angles, then when he finished he pulled out a video camera to follow her with as well. I thought Bretty would go crazy.

I took this one to try and show how powerful they are. Very soon we were about to be under these...

What a handsome group. Note, the one nice picture of the five of us and we have very thoroughly covered the entire view of the falls, unless you look very carefully through Dad's legs or just to the left of Ian...or see the five pics above and you get where we were.

The boat ride brings you RIGHT under the falls. To say we were soaked is an understatement. We were driven under pelting water that really didn't allow you to breathe or open your eyes. We were totally drenched. Now, wanting to document this awesome adventure Brett tried to buy an underwater camera the day before. The store didn't have any underwater cameras but the girl there convinced Bretty to try a water-resistant camera. "Just don't submerge it," she said. On the bus ride home Brett took a more careful look at the camera and read this distinct warning: keep away from high heat and moisture. Hmmmm...can't wait to see how those pictures turn out!
