Un-fricking-believeable
Today is my first day in Brazil. Its not as though traveling about 10 minutes by bus has ever, or really should ever cause any dramatic difference in life. Yet, crossing the border from Argentina into Brazil provides some pretty stark contrasts. Aside from the obvious language barrier I've already tried to overcome (I am really going to miss speaking Spanish. I like to think I was starting to get good...), the weather feels hotter, the people more relaxed, and there is a whole lot less smoking going on. Plus, they have Pizza Hut.
So what is it that I did with my last days in Argentina you ask? I went to Iguazu Falls, what is probably the most incredible set--almost an unimaginable number--of waterfalls in the world. It did a spectacular job of making me feel like a little kid the entire time.
Tomorrow, I'll go back. Only this time, it will be from the from-what-I've-heard-its-less-impressive-than-the-Argentinean-side Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls.
I don't know if I will have time to post again on the entire adventure before I head off to Campo Grande and the Brazilian Pantanal, but I'll try. Oh, and check out the butterfly pictures on my Flickr account--just insane.
