Foz do Iguaçu - We came all this way and look, no water!

Boo hoo.  Not an impressive sight.  This year the water level is the lowest in over 20 years!  Just a trickle in some places.  Behind us it usually looks all white with a wall of water.

These animals are similar to racoons - wild, they bite and carry rabies and yet, they are everywhere food is.  Their name is Quati.  Pretty cute though.  They tried to get into Cassio´s backpack when he was crouching to take a picture.


Ok, we lied.  There actually was some water.  Quite a bit, in fact.  It is FAR prettier than Niagara Falls.  No casinos and cheap souvenier shops everywhere.  Just nature and tons of it.  We didn´t pay for an excursion, but came by local bus and were able to stay as long as we wanted to at every lookout point.
I would just stand there, stare, and breath deeply.  The air was full of oxygen and water vapour.  Delicious!
