Pictures

1.  The Unique Hotel in Sao Paulo.  It is shaped like a boat.  Kind of reminds us of home.  :)
2.  The three frontiers where the Iguacu and Parana Rivers come together.  On the left is looking at Argentina; on the right is looking at Paraguay.
3.  The Paraguayan side.
4.  The Argentine side.
5.  The Brazil side.







From the Brazil side looking to the Argentine side.  Most of the falls are on the Argentina side but you have to see it from the Brazil side.​


​This is the Brazil side of the Devil's Throat.


This is the Devil's Throat from the Argentina side.


Devil's Throat.  It is amazing!​


1 & 2.  The Itaipu Dam.  The second largest dam in the world.  It is made of cement, boulders and dirt.  The reservoir holds enough water that every person on earth could have 4,000 liters!
3.  A Toucan at the bird park.  It just flew right behind Shelley.
4.  Interesting tree at the bird park.
5.  At the beginning of the falls.
6.  Another look.







1. You get wet on the boardwalk!
2.  On the Argentine side heading down to the river for the boat ride.
3.  View from the boat.
4.  We saw lots of these lizards around!





1.  The last thing we did at Iguacu was see the Mosque.  Sadly, they had a funeral earlier that day and we saw the family come out very shook up.  
2.  Shelley had a friend!  It had it's tongue or whatever it is, out and went clear up her leg.  She must have tasted sweet!



1,2  Do you all remember this place?  It is in Rio Claro at Valter Luna's house.  Remember when we were eating watermelon here?
3.  Dad with Valter and Marta
4, 5.  Vampire chair at the Unique Hotel library
6.  Dad and Shelley on balcony of Unique Hotel looking towards Ave. Paulista.







1.  I love all of the Nativity displays down here.  You see them all over and not just in churches.
2.  Cathedral Se in the center of the city.
3.  This restaurant was built around this tree!
4.  This cathedral is very popular for weddings here.  Almost all of the celebrities get married here.  There is a two year waiting list and it is very expensive.  The altar is made of partial gold or gold leaf.
