Day 11 - May 19 - Saturday

This morning we stopped for a little tourism at Iguaçu Falls. We got to walk a path through what looked like a miniature rainforest, then came out at an overlook of the falls, which are even larger than Niagara Falls. The view was absolutely incredible! I took a panorama shot with an app on my ipod called Photosynth... you can see the result here. http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=bf0e2dd1-751b-46ad-a000-144d762e6c3b There were also a bunch of coatis at the falls (sort of like a cross between a brown raccoon and an aardvark), and they were so used to people that they would trot right up to us to beg for handouts! Speaking of that, funny story: Lizzy was looking for something in her bag, and her mini pack of Kleenex fell out. She hadn't noticed, and Mike was about to point it out to her, but a coati got to it first - after one quick poke with its nose, it snatched up the tissue and ran off! He sat down several feet away and started ripping the entire thing apart. :) After that we skipped over to Argentina to check out a souvenir shop, then came back to Brasil for lunch. This evening we performed at a church service that was held for all of the Baptist youth in the area to get together. The service itself was three hours long and completely in Portuguese, with no translation. Let's just say that God was teaching us a lesson in patience. ;) That's all for today!
