May 15th Santa Cruz, Bolivia

We took the bus to the Argentinian side instead of paying some tour guide $30. US each to drive us to the entrance....bus was only about $15. US for all of us! The Argentina side of falls are wonderful and are much more spectacular than Niagra Falls. There were monkeys playing in the trees and these little raccoon like animals that were sooooo tame. I haven`t been able to find out what they are called yet...will keep you posted. It was a great way to spend Mother´s Day! We arrived in Santa Cruz to catch our connecting flight to La Paz...supposedly only a couple hours later but turns out the flight was cancelled and the next flight has been delayed also until 2:30 in the morning. So we are wasting time in the airport updating our blog for you all...again with no pictures as there is no USB port available. We Left Iguacu Falls and got a connecting flight in Sao Paulo, Santa Cruz and then eventually La Paz...we hope :) For those of you may have caught the news and saw the riots in Sao Paulo yesterday and today, not to worry we are safe and sound as we only pàssed through the airport. The riots were all over Sao Paulo and Santos and martial law has been implemented through out the state of Sao Paulo which means you just aren`t allowed to leave your house. Until next time, Adios!

I just came back to the States from Iguacu Falls myself. We arrived 9 days after your visit.

The raccoon-like animals are called coatis. Very cute indeed
