espectacular

After an early morning flight, I arrived at my hotel in Iguazu Wednesday and was a tad delighted to see how spa-esc it is.  Being at least 30 degrees I immediately went for a swim in the pool, bought a $5 bottle of wine, and had an hour massage that cost approximately $40. Buen dia.
I am quite impressed with how inexpensive things cost.  Although Im finding it difficult to utlize my math skills and divide everything by four, I think its all a pretty good deal.  For example, delicious authentico asado dinner last night, wine and dessert of course included, $25. Fantastico.
Oh and the desserts... I have grown a new love for dulce de leche.  It is in everything- cookies, cakes, pastries, coffee, gelato. Me encantalo
Yesterday was a full day exploring the Iguazu National Park.  It is one of the most specatular things I have seen.  The park is very well set up so you can have amazing view points of all of the falls (if you can squeeze past the out stretched arms feroiously snapping pictures) and at the end of the day I hiked down, hopped on a boat and got drenched by going right up to the Garganta del Diablo (devils throat).  Although being that close was difficult to do much more than put your head down and hold on,  it was like opening your eyes into in the shower facuet- cant do it.
