Rio de Janeiro and Foz do Iguaçu

A few shots from my recent trip to Brazil...

First, I visted Iguaçu Falls on the border of Argentina. It is simply an amazing place. Tremendous and awe-inspiring. These pictures were taken from the Brazilian side, just across the street from the famed Hotel Cataratas. The last picture is of a toucan at the aviary in town.

I next visited the Pantanal, and Salvador, but I have not posted pictures from there yet. I will soon though...

Lastly I flew to Rio de Janeiro. What an amazing city!
