Our hostel is having a BBQ tonight ($10 with free caipirinhas), so we've opted to stay here for that. But it doesn't start until 8 pm--this whole late dinner thing so doesn't work for me!

We got out to see the waterfall today--truly impressive. It would give Niagara Falls a massive inferiority complex if they were closer together. Argentina has built all sorts of trails and metal catwalks that let you get quite close to the falls and offer fantastic views without the catwalks messing up the views. The park is really well done. We did see a woman throw her straw into the water rather than walk 3 feet to the ubiquitous garbage cans.

The park is also swarming with butterflies (or moths?) of all different colors and sizes. They have some amazingly intricate patterns on their wings. Tomorrow, back to Brazil to see their side of the falls before heading off to Rio.
