Sweet pics

Here are pictures from the past few weeks...Rio, Sao Paulo, Foz de Iguacu, and Puerto Iguazu. Right now we're settling into our apartment in Buenos Aires and getting to know our neighborhood. We love our apartment and so far the city and our neighborhood seem great. We visited Eva Peron's burial site today and tonight we're going out for sushi in the "Soho" part of the city. As the real estate agent told us, they're not very creative. They also have a "Hollywood." We have a phone so if anyone is absolutely dying to make an expensive long-distance phone call, let me know.

Wild looking cathedral in downtown Rio





SAO PAULO We don't have too many pictures from Sao Paulo because well, there wasn't much to see.
Department of Education building where students were rioting

Creepy twin bible fanatics

Cathedral in Praca de Se that seats thousands



FOZ DE IGUACU
Itaipu Dam (and Brett's bday)

Turbines

Biological Refuge (that's the largest rodent in the world)



Foz de Iguacu (Brazilian side of the falls)


That lovely walk in-between borders

Falls on the Argentina side


You could take a boat out to an island in the national park called Isla de San Martin to get closer to some of the falls. There are signs on the small beach that say NO SWIMMING but of course, the dirty hippy travelers go on in in their underwear.


La Garganta del Diablo (Devil's throat)
