On the border between Argentina and Brazil , the Iguzu falls were both beautiful and impressive. A very memorable place.

The view of the falls from the Brazilian side, just after getting off the bus. It felt like I was in the illustrations of a children's book.

I think I'm going to have a hard time giving unique descriptions or names to these photos. They're all of really pretty waterfalls.

More falls. In the bottom you can see a tour boat headed up to give the visitors a shower. While I resented the presence of the boats, I will admit that they were fun to ride in.

There's something about waterfalls that makes you realize just how much water is flowing down a river at any given moment. I'm amazed that they can keep running forever -- it seems like they should just run out of water eventually.
