Another great weekend…long but great! I headed out thursday afternoon after class with three other girls. My roommate Anna and two others from our program, Jena and Lizzy. Our bus ride there lasted 20 hours…it was long but not as long as the ride back (22 hours) when all of us really didn’t feel the greatest. I think the water or something we ate was a little iffy! When we arrived on Friday we found a place to eat lunch and walked to this place called the Tres Puntas/Tres Fronteras. It is a place where you can be standing in Argentins (obviously) and see Praguay and Brazil all at the same time. They are just seperated by two rivers converging. We met two girls that were staying in the same dormitorio as us in our hostel and one was from Denver!

On Saturday we got up early (as in 6:30!) to catch a bus to the falls. It was SOOO cold. We had bought tickets to go on a boat ride close to the falls and were worried that we would freeze, but it warmed up and we switched our boat ride time to later in the day. It turned out to be a beutiful day in a very beautiful place. The falls are breath taking. There are various paths to walk on. One abover the falls, another below, and another to a specific area called the Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat). You can also take a boat to and island and walk through the jungle type area. It was a great day over all! That night we went to a local restaurant and I had the best ravioli with pesto sauce. I’m so glad Argentinians appreciate pasta almost as much as they do meat otherwise this would be a long 6 months!

Sunday we had to leave at 1 so we had a slow morning spent in a coffee shop eating media-lunas (breakfast pastries) We ran into another person from our program that we didn’t know was in Iguazu and talked with her for a while. Then the long bis ride home began!

Other than traveling my time spent here has been great. Classes are interesting and helpful and my home stay family is so great. My two roommates head out at the end of the month so soon I will be all alone in my room. Whatever will I do!? Hope all is going well in your lives as well!
