Iguazu Falls - the Brazil Side

 Just some of the photos from our tour of Iguazu Falls on the Brazil side of the Iguazu River.

We have had two nights of very little sleep because of various reasons so I am only posting photos with no comments. The photos speak for themselves. 

A truly magnificent natural wonder. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better, but it will be another very early, hot, busy day. 

Geocaching in Uruguay

 Tuesday was a ferry ride from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. The ferry ride was about 90 minutes. The temperature and humidity were almost the same number - 80s. 

We added a traditional, a virtual, and an Adventure Lab of 5 stops during our 4 hour stay.

Lunch at Don Julio

 OFD booked a lunch reservation at Don Julio,  a world famous restaurant known for their Argentina beef and outstanding service. While we waited to be seated…

we were served sparkling wine and empanadas filled with cheese and corn. Yummy. 

This was the crowd waiting to be seated when we left the restaurant. 

The three of us shared the following food. 

 

Fresh tomatoes 

Sweet potatoes and a portion of the 17 ounce filet (which we shared)

Greens with flowers

There was also a bowl of  mashed potatoes. 

And a yummy chocolate truffle for dessert. 

More photos from the restaurant.

More than 50,000 bottles of wine in their wine cellar. We got to step inside!

A fabulous lunch experience, eating tasty beef from Argentina. Thanks OFD! 

I am using my phone to post my blog. So if it looks different or wonky, that is why. Doing the best I can with the equipment I have. 

 

Hamilton

 OFD  gifted the two of us tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway during our one day stay in NYC on this trip to Antarctica. I think this is my third Broadway show in NYC. What a fabulous experience made better by the fact that I spent two nights prior to leaving SD listening to the music on CDs that were loaned to me to enhance the experience  I was able to read the words as I listened. Then I followed that with some Alexander Hamilton research. 

It was an AMAZING experience. Thanks OFD.
