Brazil part 10...Day 9 Iguazu Falls

Here are some pictures of our hotel. We ate breakfast Thursday morning and walked around the falls one more time before going to the airport that afternoon.



This is the tower you can climb at our hotel



The falls and rainbows were unbelievable that morning.

Right across from the picture above, there was this plaque in the wall. It says
"Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is mighty." Psalm 93:4
"God is always greater than all of our problems."

We were speechless when we saw that plaque









Iguazu Falls was one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been.
"Life isn't measured by how many breaths you take, but how many moments take your breath away"
That afternoon we left Iguazu and flew to Campinas! We had a layover in Curitiba. Allen Dutton picked us up at the airport at 9:30pm and we drove to their house! We said hi Tyler and Laura and then they went to bed because they had school the next morning. We talked with Allen and Robin and ate ridiculously good chocolate cake! Then we all went to bed kinda late!

Brazil part 9...Day 8 Iguazu Falls

On Wednesday we went to Argentina to see that side of the falls. We took a taxi and it took about an hour from our hotel because of border control. It's funny because from our hotel room we could see Argentina but it took an hour to get over there! Once on the Argentinean side, we took a little train to the trails. There are so many different trails to go on!





Here are the awesome wheelchairs!



The first trail we wanted to go on was where you stand on top of the Devil's throat. To get there, you walk on a mile of bridges over the swamps and rivers. You are really in the middle of no where!




Try and find the grammar error...




When you finally make it to the devil's throat, this is what you first see.

Then you can walk RIGHT over the edge. You can't even see the bottom because of the force of the water. It's a little scary!! But amazing.






Looking straight down..


























That's what our hotel looks like from Argentina. You can't tell but it's up really high!
