Do Go Chasin' Waterfalls

We came to Iguazu Falls, the world's largest waterfall system, and it is awesome. That is "awesome" in the truest sense of the word, by the way. We are full of awe about these waterfalls.*

We are staying in the national park and our hotel is directly in front of the falls. This gives us an added perk of being able to visit them before the park opens in the morning and after the park closes at night. So, what I'm saying is, we just keep going back to visit these falls.
 Wouldn't you?

I've basically spent the past two days going all Monet** on these falls and the following are the results. They will be briefly interrupted by pictures from the museum we visited in Buenos Aires that I forgot to post about.***

We visited the falls at sunset. 

We visited the falls in the morning when everything was covered in fog. 

Art break!

We saw a rainbow!
We got completely drenched from waterfall spray.*****

Art break!

We went on a river tour that began with a walk through the rainforest. We were outfitted with fantastic ponchos. 

We were on a boat that gave us a great view of the falls and then drove us directly under one of them.****** Some of us got seasick. 

Art break!

We took 8,000 more waterfall pictures. 

Am I too late for those no-makeup next to a waterfall close ups?

At some point, we had a caipirinha. 

But then it was back to work. 

Art break!

Last one, I promise.*******

Ice cream break!

*But they are also totally rad and gnarly. 

**These water lilies look totally different at sunrise then at noon!! I must paint them again!!

***I can not take the credit, this was Jessica's idea. We visited the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and it had a lovely selection of international and Argentinian artists from throughout modern art history. Also, it was free.****

****Don't even get me started on how I think making all museums free would lower crime rates, create a more educated public, and generally lead to world peace.
