Here I am in Iguazu, Argentina. On a map it's in the very north of Argentina on a little pennisula I finally found some dark-skinned people--they were begging on the street. A man was selling what could only be termed as trinkets to tourists. I'm told by the woman who owns the hotel that rhere are reservations set aside for "indigenous" people but they don´t stay on the reservations. They come to places like this to beg or sell handcrafts, gamble in the casinos, etc. There is a question whether they are indeed indigenous. There doesn´t seem to be full-blooded anything in Argentina, except way up in the mountains of Patagonia. And these are people who are trying to keep their culture alive, unlike the folks around this part of Argentina.

It´s really hot here--34 (multiply by 2, subtract 10% and add 32) That comes to over 93 and it´s humid. I´ll be glad to get on the ship and head SOUTH.

Tomorrow I go to the Falls and spend all day. I will take lots of photos. The place I´m staying in Iguazu has a place for me to upload my photos. So I will do that later tonight when it cools off. Now I´m heading for the pool . . .

After breakfast at the hostel this morning I made my way to the bus depot and bought a ticket for Iguazu Falls. Boy, is it hot already and it's only 8:30. It's only about 1/2 hr. to the Falls. Argentinians can get in for about one quarter what I had to pay; I don't mind cause their taxes pay for this park.

Here's a typical path on the upper part of the Park before decending into the chasm. Much cooler in the shade of the trees but still very humid; wonder what it will be like in the canyon?
