I think Iguazu Falls is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World…but I am not sure about that. When I was a kid I simply remember the 7 wonders of the world but now there is a list for everything that it has gotten much to complicated for my brain to handle.

Drum roll please….
Gina and I made the decision that we will return with the kids to the U.S. sometime in September!

We are also in the middle of a vast desert, running hundreds of kilometers north to Ecuador and thousands of kilometers south into Chile.
