Day 1 at Iguazu Falls

After arriving at Iguazu Falls we headed straight toward the train and catwalks that took us to the Gangantua del Diablo. On the way, I was joined by a few butterflies who took the journey with me.

As we were taking in the sites, we noticed some storm clouds gathering in the distance and decided to head back toward the train. The storm clouds were quite impressive and had I been in Oklahoma, these definitely would have given me pause for concern. Doc took this amazing photo of the storm clouds approaching the waterfalls.



Luckily, we made it onto the train before the sky opened up. But the rest of the afternoon was quite rainy. Nonetheless, we opted to walk the upper circuit along the falls and got some great shots in the rainy weather. And another plus ... there weren't any crowds!
