    Among the many photos of Iguazu, I cannot pick a favorite! It is all so special, and I can see why it is a world class attraction. I loved the earlier one of Charlie and Paula looking soaked in their rain gear…and smiles as big as the waterfalls around you! Many Thanks for all the hours spent developing your blog. Well Done traveler friends!
