In Brazil

Yesterday was a very packed day. We took a trip in the morning to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls. We went with two girls who live in England- Erin and Thalia. They were staying at our place, so we all shared a cab together. After arriving at the falls, we took a short trek for some amazing views. Much more panoramic views than the Argentine side. We were getting ready to leave when Thalia went to the bathroom and we than lost her. We searched and searched to no avail. With time getting short due to having to catch a flight to Brazil, we decided to head to the exit to meet our cab and hope to find her there. If not, John and I were going to have to leave them or risk missing our flight. Luckily, she was waiting for us at the exit and we got back fine. We rushed to get to the airport for what was going to be 5 hours worth a plane rides and airport time.

Upon arriving in Campo Grande, we met up with Gil who was setting up our trip to Bonito and Pantanal. Gil is a brazilian guy who spent many years in Michigan playing soccer and coaching before returning home. Why Michigan? We than hopped a bus to arrive in Bonito at 4am. Upon awaking, we went to check on our snorkeling trip, only to be told that the river was sold out for the day. They have a limit on how many people can go on any given day. We were pretty bummed as we only have one day here. While discussing what to do at breakfast, the guy comes to tell us that two spots are open. I tell him WE TAKE IT. So that is where we head shortly. After that, it is on the Pantanal (the jungle) for a safari, piranha fishing, horse riding, etc.

This will probably be my last post for a few days as I dont anticipate access in the jungle. The thought of not knowing who wins the OSU-MSU game until Tuesday night is not a pleasant one. Oh well. Small problem. Things are good here. Have to run to get on our trip. Hope all is well.
