Iguazu Falls! One of the new 7 wonders of the world. Consists of 275 waterfalls, the largest being La Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) which is 82 meters high, 150 meters wide, and 700 meters long, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. For those of you wondering why this looks familiar...Planet Earth.
One of the things they offer at Iguazu park is a motor boat ride underneath the falls. Yes. Underneath the falls. They pile you into a motor boat, give you a lifevest, a waterproof bag for your camera, motor out to the falls (which by the way have rock walls behind them), and then on the count of 3 they charge at them at a seemingly high speed until you are actu
ally underneath the waterfall, soaking wet, and blind because your contacts fell out, and then they back up and do it again! It was awesome! I guess that's just one of the perks of being in South America, where impending lawsuits aren't sucking the fun out of experiences like this ;).The first photo is of me standing in front of the falls, soaking wet. The second is on our motor boat as our driver decided which fall he wanted to propel us underneath. The third is me standing in at the top of La Garganta del Diablo. Click here for more photos!

Oh, and if you're wondering about the milkshake reference, ask Liz.
