Hi everyone: WOW! Iguazu Falls is magnificent, the highlight of our tour. The falls consist of 275 separate cascades of an incredible volume of water from the Iguazu River that stetches on and on and on. Walked the footpath on the Brazilian side to get the best view of the falls on the Argentine side. Took the boat ride on the river into part of the falls for a soaking and welcome shower. Itaipu dam and hydro-electric generating plant on the Parana River is astounding as well. It is one of the 7 modern wonders of the world. The plant generates 95% of the electricity for Paraguay and 25% of that for Brazil. Crossing the border into Paraguay required a visa costing $45. Another magazine and a newspaper wanted to do stories about us, but we had to move on quickly to get to Asuncion before dark. We are enjoying the friendly hospitality of the Nomads moto club in Asuncion. Tomorrow, Ricardo heads for Bolivia and back to Ecuador. We'll miss our dear friend. We are heading for the 2nd biggest motorcycle rally in South America at Campo Grande, Brazil. Then on to Santos and Sao Paulo, where a big moto magazine, Duas Rodas (2 Wheels), is interested in our story. Then, we will head to Rio for Carnaval March 1. Got bad news from a mechanic today. He says the noise in Critters lower engine is probably worn main bearings. Changed the oil and hoping the bearings last until we finish the tour in Recife or Belem. Still plagued with VISA debit card problems. The card is being rejected. Have to call Bank of America tomorrow and find out what the problem is.
Later, amigos & amigas.
