This platform was also close to the falls
But it’s at the edge
So there wasn’t as much wind as out on that walkway
But there was still a lot of water
In every direction
Mostly in the air
Matt did not appreciate it.

More Bird Park
Bird park is a good place to impersonate a drowned bird
They also had butterflies
Including one that was freshly eclosed
You can ask Dr. Matt what that means.
Kerri doesn’t think it’s a real word.
But apparently butterflies know how to do it.
He’s not sure if birds know how to do it.
Kerri tried to ask one but he couldn’t talk.
So I guess we’ll never know.

Itaipu Dam
This is Itaipu Dam
It is the second biggest dam in the world
Depending on how you count.
Here it is from the Paraguay side
Yes we were in Paraguay for a few seconds
The dam makes a big lake
Because that’s what dams do.
There was a giant frame here for some reason
And a swing hanging on construction equipment.

More Water
We decided we couldn’t get wetter so we went out on the walkway under the big falls.
Do you see Kerri?
She’s in the blue
She is having trouble with her poncho because the falls make the wind go crazy.
Matt is back there in the orange.
Staying away from the falls, like a smart person.
But eventually he came along.
And he was really happy he did.
Until he realized he couldn’t really see anything.
He was a bit grumpy
For no reason
Whatsoever
But then he was happy again

Iguazu Falls Brazil Side
There was a lot of water.
Much of it was falling from the sky.
But some of it was also in the waterfalls.
We seem to have taken a selfie from every view point.
The water was high because there had been a lot of rain
But apparently in a real flood those bottom waterfalls disappear altogether.
So it can get a lot higher
Because those lower waterfalls are still really tall.
Water, water everywhere
There was water to drink
But it was expensive
Tourist traps are like that.
