Thursday am

Hi readers!
It is 8:36am Argentina time, 4:36 am Orange County time.
We are all sitting in the hotels restaurant, finishing breakfast and discussing what we are doing today.
We are visiting a village from last years trip. We've been to this village before, meaning we picked up Carlitos, our Guarani helper, to take to the previous two villages. We are visiting his village to check on the water purifier that was placed in the back of their church last summer. We will also cook lunch, show the Jesus film and teach them about hygenie.

Yesterday, was our true tourist day. We drove 2-3 hours to Iguazu Falls. BEAUTIFUL!!! We took a picture as a group at the large mouth of the falls. Then we walked 122 steps (correct me if I'm wrong George) to see more of the falls. Some of us went to the bottom of one fall, looked at the God given wonder and came out completely soaked! (Thanks for the poncho Jan!!) So proud that Jerry made the walk!
After our tour we drove to the Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay border. Its in the water so unfortuantely we couldn't say we are in 3 places at once.
For dinner we drove to Downtown Argentina and ate a fabulous dinner. Some people tried new meats- chorizo (filet mignon), blood (doesn't taste like much), pickled tongue (good!) and our usual chicken, ribs and pork. I highly suggest the Piacera restaurant.

We are now off to work!!!
