Adios Argentina




We finished our days in Argentina with a couple trips outside of Buenos Aires. Tigre is about an hour's train ride and is the center of a delta connected by canals, streams and rivers. Most homes outside of Tigre have no other access except by water taxi. We jumped on a boat, met people from Brazil and Germany and nearly hiked around the mosquito infested island until we crossed one too many bridges and thought we might end up on some other island. Lewis and Clark and Pizarro we are not. We headed back and had beer and a mate (tea) that our friend Sergi prepared.

The next trip was to Iguazu Falls - fantabulous, stuperrific. They are a system of falls between Argentina and Brazil connected by walkways for amazing views. Let the pics speak for themselves. Allan wants to go white water rafting again... I say "No, Indiana Jones." We met another new friend from Poland named Jan. He wants to fish in Alaska; we want to go to Poland. Maybe David or Drew will come with us since they are part Polish? Can we spell Pierogi?

  1. Wow, what a trip. Makes me want to get on a plane tomorrow. Impressive hikes, beautiful scenery, great friends, food and wine or beer. What more is there. It looks like you really enjoyed South America. Hope Carol and I might get there some day.
