La Fuerza de Iguazu

Well, I have been slacking a little on the blog. We have been really busy twiddling our thumbs, changing shoelaces, etc.

So, first of all. Look what the cat drug in (picture below)! . . . . . .


We are now the tango trio. Nicholas ¨The Queso Hombre¨ Foley has entered our world!

Our travels in Argentina has been awesome! It is hard to complain about juicy steak and beautiful women. Before meeting Foley, Jansa and myself enjoyed the wineries of the north, the charm of Cordoba, some long bus rides, and la guitarra classico. After snatching our third amigo, we settled him in by draggin´ the poor guy all over Buenos Aires. Recently, we visited one of the big ticket items for all of South America.... Iguazu Falls.


The Cataratas de Iguazu stem from the Iguazu River which divides Brazil and Argentina. The system of waterfalls consists of approximately 275 individual cascades along 1.67 miles of the river. Some of which rise as high as 269 feet.

The stats are impressive, but when you actually hear the roar and feel the spray of this unfathomable natural force, you are likely to check your pulse. Is this Heaven or Narnia? I am well convinced that there are very few places on this Earth that are as special in natural wonder and sheer magnitude. Once again, impossible to describe in full. No words.



I think I will have to agree with Jansa when he said, ¨I feel sorry for anyone that has to walk to another waterfall with me again.¨ See the video at the bottom for further explanation.
