So much water!
An unplanned and unexpected visit to Iguassu Falls, on advice from Becca and Ruth, to see both sides - Brazil and Argentina! I had thought about the falls but not where the town around them might be or what it was called so Foz de Iguazu was small, a little boring and unkempt to some …
