Final Days. Our Last Hotel. Buenos Aires.

Our last days on this trip. We checked into a nice hotel in Recoleta to relax. Recoleta is such a great neighborhood and our hotel was 50ft from the famous cemetery.

Random in Montevideo, Uruguay.

I did not make many photographs in Montevideo. It was cold and Megan and I just wanted to eat well, drink well, and chill in our great hotel room. Here are some images from our few days in the beautiful, cosmo, sleepy capital of Uruguay.

On our way to Montevideo. We scored the very back seats right next to the toilet, always sweet.

Iguazu Falls. Northern Argentina.

We really went out of our way to visit IguazĂș Falls in Northern Argentina on the border of Brazil, however there is a severe drought in South America at the moment and it has brought the falls to its knees. For the first time in 20 years the 270 falls that make up the IgauzĂș Falls system have been reduced from the normal 350,000-400,000 gallons per second to 80,000 gallons per second. Many of the falls are dry and the main attraction, The Garganta del Diablo, from what we have been told, is paltry compared to what it can be during normal water levels. We still enjoyed our day at the park, and we were still blown away by The Garganta del Diablo. I cannot imagine all of the falls flowing at normal level, it must be truly incredible. These images are from The Garganta del Diablo.
