Just as I finished the last post, the rain cleared and we were able to continue our tour of Iguazu falls. Jon flagged the bus down just as it was leaving the station, and we made it to the park before anyone else caught on that it wasn´t raining. If you´re ever in this part of Argentina, the falls are definatly something to check out. And if you´ve only got a short while at the part, the lower circuit is FAR better than any of the other scenic walks to the falls. We were so glad we made it back today, as it was the walk we chose not to do yesterday and it rewarded us with the best views of the falls.

View of some of the falls from the lower circuit walk. I can´t honestly remember the name of any of the falls, but they were mostly spectacular. Now and again they would sneak in a small, boring water fall with some fancy name and Jon and I would walk over to see it, fooled. But mostly we just saw huge curtains of water cascading through lush greenery.

Closer view of the falls. We hike this trail twice we like it so much. Our one disapointment was that the boat that ran to the island in the middle of the falls wasn´t running. Apparently the morning storm had damaged the trails, so we were unable to get as close to the falls as we could have. I guess we´ll just have to come back some day!

Coatis - small racoon like animals that were everywhere! Signs warning you not to feed them were up in english, spanish and picture form, but the coatises seemed to be doing just fine. I took some video of a family of them walking across one of the waterfall bridges, which may make it to the web at some point.(Obviously) Us in front of the star waterfall on site (which was too big to fully capture in one shot). Also available on video at a later date.

About a zillion other photos of the falls were taken, and will be sorted and posted apres trip for those of you who crave more waterfall shots.
