Over the falls in a barrel

   The reason for going to Iguazu Falls is the cataratas (falls) of course. Metal bridges
are built above and below this expanse of rushing water that is greater than 6 times
larger than Niagara falls. The falls are magical. Full rainbows glide across the sky
when the sun peaks out and the spray at some falls soaked us through. Blue and red
butterflies alight everywhere and on everyone (more so on my bright red flower look-
alike shirt). Birds eat fish, fly into the falls, and fill the air with their melodies. At the
pinnacle of our visit to the falls, an enormous torrent of water spills hundreds of feet
down to a conflagration of mist that plumbs into the sky so high it could easily be seen
from the plane as we left.
  The end of our day was capped with a hike to a light fall with a swimming hole next
to it that enabled us to explore under a fall, not just beside it. The setup and walkways
in the parks reminded Michelle of a nature Disneyland (there was even a tram), but
even this infrastructure did not impede upon the shear beauty of this world wonder.

This bird lives underneath the falls.
