Mitch update #2

This is Mitch ( Aunt Trisha, how could you doubt me?). Fortunately, and unusually, we did not have a flight today. we've had 7 flights in 6 days so far. Instead of hopping from place to place on an airplane, we took two boat tours and walked countless miles in and around Iguacu Falls National Park. During the first boat tour, the boat actually went under one of the falls. We were soaked. On the second boat ride, we saw four caimans (minature alligators). The first one we saw was a baby. It was kinda cute really. The second one was the exact opposite. at ~6ft. long, it was the biggest one we saw. It was just a little bit freaky. The third was right in between. It looked about 4ft. long to me. After that, I had a little suprise. Another 4 footer, which we weren't looking at, thrashed out of the water right next to where I was sitting ( we were in a tiny little raft). I was so scared I almost fell in.
As I said earlier, we also walked through several miles of the subtropical rainforests in the surrounding area. There were over 600 kinds of butterflies there. They were everywhere( including on my face).
We spent most of the day in the country of Argentina, across the river from Brazil. We also went to Paraguay, to make a total of three countries in one day. In Paraguay, we saw the largest hydro-electric plant in the world.
Right now, I'm headed off to watch the Brazil-Argentina soccer game, as I'm on the Brazil-Argentina border. Argentina is first in the standings, while Brazil is second. And to make it even more interesting, it's a one point difference. Let's just say the tention is high enough I'm expecting to hear of at least a couple of fights in local bars before the night is over.
