Vel fremme i byen etter den faele bussturen gikk for aa booke en ny busstur til Rio de janeiro to dager senere:) Denne turen skulle ta 23 timer (og bare det haapet vi:) Vi fikk saa innlosjert oss for natten og det ble en rolig kveld. Neste dag skulle vi til de beromte iguazu Falls som blir betegnet som verdens mest spektakulaere vannfall. Det er over 300 vannfall og det storste strekker seg over 700m i bredden og 40 - 80 m i hoyden. Vi hadde booket en biltur gjennom jungelen og en baattur som tok deg naermere vannfallene. Etter ankomst tok vi et lite tog ut til utkikkspunktet. Deretter gikk vi ut paa smaa plattformer til vi kom helt ut paa kanten. Man blir veldig vaat av aa staa saa naerme fossen, saa det anbefales ... read more

I have REALLY been slacking on my blog, but I guess it gives you time to catch up on your reading! Although no new blogs recently, I have been doing a ton; going out at night, getting used to my classes, loving the differences between UCA and UBA, and hangin out with my mom! This is being written from the balcony of my apartment that I grow to love more and more every day. My mom and Sharon have been in Argentina for a while now and we had an incredible time all last week in the Province of Misiones in Northern Argentina where the incredible Iguazu Waterfalls are. Believe it or not, we actually had the same kind of adventures that made the first part of my trip so memorable. I had a great time ... read more

We had a few fun filled non stop action packed crazy days in Buenos Aires. We'd barely landed there and we found ourselves in a transit van winding through the downdown streets of this hugemungous and exciting city. We arrived at our destination and were ushered into a building and up some stairs into a studio, ready to learn some new skills, we were ready to learn Tango! The lesson was great fun but we'd probably need a few more goes before we join the Halifax Tango display team... After our lesson we were seated for a steak and 'drink as much vino as you can' dinner before our Tango show started. In truth we weren't expecting that much of the Tango show - we thought it would just be a bit of cheesy 'for the ... read more

So next morning i got up and decided id save some cash for Buneos Aires and as paraguy was not spectacular unles you heded north to the jungle i decided to skip the expense of just going for another passport stamp...lol, again it was up for a great brekkie and then i decided as it was so hot to do some hand washing and save a few pesos. So i did that and then hung out by the wonderful hostelpool chatting to the dutch girl mieke before she headed off in the afternoon for a bus to Buneos Aires (14 hours and thank god i have a flight...lol) and speaking to a french girl emaunelle who had been in town a few days and had swapped to our hostel, eventually Mieke went and i just hung ... read more

FREBRUARY 19, 2008 - My birthday, my 41st birthday, and I went to Iguazu Falls - Cataratas del Iguazu! A place I've wanted to see for 4 years and it was well worth the wait. What a way to spend my birthday. Note: For those of you reading this that had no idea of my age…SURPRISE! It surprises me everyday, why should I be alone! I plan to be this young at heart forever while being proud of being in my wonderful 40’s. I must admit I was getting a little pre-occupied with what I thought a 40 year old was suppose to be...mature, responsible, together, spouse, children, etc, or better yet 'not be'...fun, lively, unsure, single, still love to dance and go out, be silly, etc, but this is just another one of those major ... read more
