View from the Sheraton Hotel inside the park.  It was worth the money to be able to be next to the falls.  You could hearing from from the balcony.  You could see the animals.  You could walk around after the park was officially closed.  You could be the first one out on the trails in the morning.  The first pictures are views from the hotel.  The last two photos are my favorites.  I them took up close to the falls (Devil's Throat).  If you have never been it is hard to imagine the power, size and volume of Iguazu Falls.  This should be on your bucket list, no matter what.

Livramento & Uruguaiana, Brazil

I left Uruguay through Rivera and the northern border. Rivera and Livramento are virtually the same city. To cross from one country to the other is as easy as walking across the main park. After a few days on the border I headed into Brazil. I spent a day or two in Uruguaiana (Brazil) which is right on the border with Argentina. It is a pleasant little city and was a nice stop before returning to Argentina. (Picture to the right is the Cathedral in Uruguaiana. Picture above is a building in Livramento)

Madrid

Well once again it is time to say good-bye to Spain. I always start and end my Spanish trips in Madrid. In many ways Madrid feels like home and I tend to visit the same wonderful places here in the capital city. This time was no exception, however I also wanted to explore some parts I don't usually visit. Here are three "Good-bye Spain" pictures.
