The Bus trip there

Waiting for EL PRACTICO- the bus that takes us to Igauzu

Well Igauzu was AMAZING!! As you can see. Our 17ish hour bus trip there was well worth it. The 1st day Nora, Bex, Lauryn, and I headed to la garganta del diablo- the devil's throat- and it was intense. We couldn't even see to the bottom of the falls. There was water coming up at us too, that's y we are soaked in some of the pics. The 2nd day we traveled around the rest of the falls, the upper and lower parts, and this was another amazing day. Igauzu National Park was filled with butterflies, rainbows, caotis (really cute Argentine racoon) trying to steal our food, birds, and of course the cateras-waterfalls. There are around 2,000 waterfalls within the park. When we were walking around the trails the 2nd day, every 10 mins I kept saying "oh this is the best view, wait no this is the best view" the park just seemed to get more beautiful every second! Can't say much more- pictures & video!!

We stayed in a hostel for Friday night, the 1 night on our trip we actually got a bed. This was a pretty hostel with a pool and a great free breakfast. It wasn't as cool as our art hostel in Montevideo- but I guess who could top that? the rest of the nights were spent eating bus food and sleeping in semi-camas on the freezing bus. But I got a lot of homework done, and slept for the most part- so I was happy.

Sunday- Pascau- Easter- We headed to Corrientes, which is another province in Argentina. Its up north, about 12 hr bus ride from BA. We got there super early and met up with some wonderful people-Lia, Manuel, y Sebastian. We went and got some coffee and facturas- pastries- for breakfast, had some mate, went to all 7 churches in the city Iwhich were all closed on easter- they had masses at the time we had our bus), saw the pretty plazas, and watched a game of Paddle- kinda like tennis-popular there, walked on the cosanera (coast- really pretty), went to the local zoo, had some mate, learned how to cook some really yummy fried dough, had some terere (cold mate), listened to people play guitar, had some mate, ANd then traveled back to BA. Oh yes, and I even got a chocolate egg for dessert on the bus that night : )
