IGUAZU FALLS - 1ST NIGHT

We had an interesting flight from Buenos Aires.  Our original seats were next to no window at all.  I saw a youngish guy jump to the bulkhead seat.  No one said anything to him so Charlie and I did the same.  Once we made our move 1) no one said anything to us either 2) a number of other people played musical seats and 3) I ended up sitting next to a sophomore in a Argentinian engineering program who was happy to practice his English.  He was from Bogota, Colombia and this was the first time he'd seen his mom and dad in 3 years.

We got to the hotel late afternoon and it began to pour rain.  Unlike last time when there had been a drought and the river was down by 1/3 - this time it's 3 times higher than usual.  Our room faces the falls and even in a downpour it's a spectacular view.  Nifty yellow chested birds with black caps and white headbands around.  Smallish black fuzzy monkeys as well.  We look forward to tomorrow.  Photos to come!
