7/21

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another entry of the Brent Bible. Today was probably my favorite day so far. We got to see Iguacu Falls, which has been an item on my bucket list since I was a junior or sophomore in high school. I did a report on Argentina back in 5^th grade and included Foz de Iguacu in the report. Flash forward to when I made my long bucket list, it was one of the first items I put under the travel section.

Today started with an early breakfast and we were on the bus by 7:30 this morning. We drove to Iguacu and when we hopped off the bus. The view was surreal. What's crazy is that this is only the first part of the falls. Iguacu is made of ~275 individual falls. 

God is so good. 

From the head of the trail, we waked about an hour and a half, across from the falls. It was beautiful and I took a ton of pictures. At the end of the trail, there was a platform that extended out over the falls. It was super misty and cold, but we got a cool picture. It was also unreal to see the falls that close.

Me and the gang. 

From there, we ascended back to the top of the canyon, saw the falls from a higher elevation, and hopped back on the bus. We then drove to our second spot in Iguacu, where we went on a little nature walk, which lead to a pier where we hopped on a speedboat and got real personal with the falls. The boat got us underneath one of the falls, and we got soaked.

After that, we got dry and headed to lunch. It was a buffet, and the food was very good. I got two full plates and accidentally tried cow tongue. Can’t say that I was a fan, but maybe It was because it was prepared a certain way. I’m keeping an open mind.

After lunch, we headed back to our hotel and hung out in the pool area for a little bit. After that, I called my family for about an hour and went to the gym. This was my first real workout in about 4 weeks, and it felt great to get back into it a little bit. No shirt, no shoes, no socks in there. Will definitely be taking full advantage of the gym here.

After the gym, I had my first bite of shawarma. It was outstanding. New obsession I think.

Believe it or not, I was 100% sober in this picture. 

Tomorrow, I’ll be taking over the @NortheasternGeo Instagram account. Tap in to follow along!
