Gods Wrath

When I saw Iguacu falls for the first time on Planet earth, I knew nothing about it (or that I was going to be in Brazil) or where it was, but my immediate reaction was “I am going there one day”.

It is great when you get to live out those dreams. Iguaçu is more than anything anyone can describe. It is just phenomenal. It really makes me feel like I am witnessing God’s wrath. God, in his beautiful creativity found the greatest way to take out a little of his extra fury in the falls that dump 350,000 gallons of water per second from the 275 falls that lie within two miles of the river! I loved it, there is nothing I can say. We stayed in the park on the Brazil side of the falls (they are on the borders of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay). We got to hike and view the falls after the park closed, had a great dinner in our beautiful hotel and I even got my own room! Saturday we went on a boat ride up to the falls, and even in a few, that was a rush! We also had to take a jeep through the forest through the woods and all I kept thinking about was Jurassic Park, it really was like we were in the movie. I was waiting to see a Brontosaurus head above the tree tops. Then we went over to Argentina and walked out the catwalk to above the part of the falls called Devils Throat. It was beautiful! It is a full sensory experience. The roar of the falls, the mist covering you, the blue green and white fury of beauty, the smell, and the taste of the water as you stand jaw fallen in awe of the splendor. Like I said: indescribable. I also got to ride a helicopter up to see the falls Sunday morning! I got to sit in the front (with the glass all the way around, even at my feet) (I felt like I was on Lost…) and see a bird’s eye view of one of Go ds seven wonders (I am going to make a list)
