3/22
Hey, just got into Puerto Iguazu so I thought I would give you all a quick update on what has happened the past few days and what our plans are for those to come. We had a great time wrapping up our stay in Buenos Aires, it was hard to say goodbye to the city after spending three weeks getting to know and love it. We had a huge last dinner with a bunch of friends at a famous parilla in an area called Palermo. It was absolutely delicious and we could barely move after we had finished. We spent the next day finalzing our plans for the rest of our trip, cleaning our apartment, and saying goodbye to some friends. In the late afternoon we headed to the bus station, where we realized that the woman at the travel office gave us the wrong information, then waited for two hours until our bus was ready to depart. The ride to Puerto Iguazu took about 18 hours, and it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. The food was worse than airplane food (I did not know that was possible) but the seats reclined all the way back, they played movies on flat screens that were decent, and I was able to sleep almost the entire night through. I have to say that my first overnight bus expereince was not bad at all. We arrived this mornnig and headed straight to our hostel which is where I am writing this from. We already planned our visit to the falls tomorrow and figured out where we are going to stay in Brazil when we cross the border in two days, so things are going well. Other than the heat/humidity everything is perfect and I am really looking forward to everything that is soon to come. Check back soon for pics and info on the falls.

I can't believe you think the bus food is worse than plane food. our bus food to Iguazu was 100x better than the american airlines food from santiago back home! Enjoy the falls they are incredible!!!! Definitely spend time on both sides of the falls. I've heard mixed reviews about which side is better, so let me know what you think.
