| Iguasu Falls to Rio de Janeiro |
| 19 Jan 2006 |
After breakfast we walked from our hotel onto a paved scenic path overlooking the Iguasu Falls.
Every time we thought we had seen everything a bend of the path offered views of additional falls
gushing huge amounts of water over cliffs we had not seen before. At the end of the path an elevator
brought us up to the edge of the deep canyon. Virginia and I were so impressed by the falls that
later in the morning we on our own repeated the walk and extended it.
