Looks like Debby is having fun digging the "meat" out. It's not as sweet as we expected.

Iguazu from above! The helicopter kind of got in the way!

An aerial view of Devil's Throat and some of the other falls

Another aerial view of Devil's Throat. Do you see the walkway (in the shade) at about 10 o'clock from the falls in the picture? That's the walkway where we took the pictures on top of Devil's Throat. They really get you close!

Aerial shot of our hotel in the Park.

This is the walkway that takes you out to the mouth of Devil's Throat.

A little rainbow . . . a little water . . . and a little wildlife

Rainsbow from the waterfall spray

No clue whose finger that is, but it works for me. Looks like it's coming right out of its finger.

The mouth of Devil's Throat. There's so much sprary this afternoon that everything (including my camera lens) is getting soaked.

It's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow . . . ME!

This would be an even better picture if I didn't have all the water spots on my lens!

Jaffa, Alan and Debby at the mouth of Devil's Throat

Water, water everywhere!

This has been an awesome day!
