There were rainbows everywhere formed by the mist from the falls pounding down.

What?!?! A real live monkey in the wild!!

I was so excited to find a family of monkeys hanging out by the falls in Iguasu. They were so fast so I only got a couple of shots of them.

The dratted bug magnet dress

This is the dress that I think attracted a massive stinging creature to attack me. It was the scariest experience ever and it hurt so bad. Rose and I were walking through Iguasu having a grand old time when all of the sudden I buckled over from a sting from this South American beast! Don´t wear red and black in tropical bug places-I have now been told that they are attracted to these colors.

Happy New Year
Hello Cassandra and Rose, I am so happy that Rose can travel with you for a few weeks. That is so great. The pictures are wonderful and keep them coming. YOu have seen so much and still more to see. Jim and I are hoping that we will get to Brazil someday and visit our friends that stayed with us and would love to hear from you and will put you both up and I am sure would show you a great time. They also have 2 daughters about your age. If you need for me to send you their phone number and address again I will be glad to. We have been having lots of rain and on Jan. 4th we had strong gusty winds and heavy rain and alot of fences have blown down and ours is one of them. We are so glad to have power. Lots of home are without power in the Sacramento area and Davis. Both you and Rose look like you are having such a wonderful time. Both are so beautiful. I am calling your dad today and check in and see how he is doing. I try to call him every other week and have a chat. Got a sweet card from him yesterday. We are both fine and planning for our next 2 trips. March we go to India/Nepal/Bhutan and then after that we are flying to Thailand for 1 week. We will go to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Then in May we are going to Romania on a Humanitarian trip with the Friendship Force and we will be taking computers to a school for the blind. Wishing both of you a wonderful 2008 and just continue having a fabulous trip and enjoy each day to the fullest. Love you loads, Madelene and JIm

yo
holy crap, that strawberry yogurt scam is ridiculous. (the smoldering look you have in that pic though i must say is hot hot hot.) glad though that you city gals were alert to all that bs. was pvd amazing? i saw him on nye once in LA. he played pearl jam's 'better man' at the stroke of midnight. it was intrusive, something i'll never forget. all your pics are amazing, the falls and the forest, recolata is both beautiful and eerie at once, i hope i can visit one day where you now are. it's been pouring rain, raining in sheets in san francisco, the worst storm they say in two years. but it cleans the streets and leaves them shiny and brand new looking. it's worth it though just to walk slowly up and down the gleaming street, black umbrella in hand, jacket collar up, steaming coffee warming the palm. we all miss you rose. happy new years. have a great vacation, you guys. keep up the blog and the pics.
