To the Falls

According to Frost, fences make good neighbors. Apparently waterfalls make good borders; in this case, between Argentina and Brazil.

I was a bit leery about going to see Iguazu Falls. First off, it is a twenty hour bus ride from Buenos Aires, and I am getting a little tired of buses. However, everyone raved about the falls so we went. I have to admit it was well worth it. What does Iguazu have the Niagara doesn´t? First, Iguazu is bigger and in the middle of a jungle so that sort of adds an element of the exotic. Second, Iguazu has yellow fever.

I really think the threat of tropic disease adds something to the whole experience.
