Back from Brazil!
I’m back from Brazil. It’s great to be home after a week full of sight-seeing activities. We had a ton of fun, I highly recommend visiting Iguassu Falls if you are in Brazil. The falls are breathtaking. People do such a fantastic job preserving the wildlife around in the park, you can see all kinds of wild animals there. Here are some pictures I took to share with you guys

From Iguassu Falls National Park…
The Bird Park by the Falls. I never saw so many beautiful exotic tropical birds in one place.
<– me petting a friendly tucan, Brazil’s national bird.
We took an eco-adventure tour in the jungle, riding bikes and canoeing on the lake, saw some caymans, even a baby one up close.
Us riding bikes with our tour guide Marcus, friendliest guy ever.
<-- See the cayman behind the leaves?
And we went shopping in a tax-free zone in Paraguay, which was only 40 minutes from the city of Iguassu Falls. People from all the surrounding regions come here to buy goods to bring back to sell in their own towns. Our tour guide Rodrigo said it was very easy to get 1 kilogram of marijuana for only $15! Imagine that. So people smuggle it in from Paraguay and go to big cities like Rio de Janeiro to sell the weed for lots more. The market was pretty chaotic. We found people love Pringles, lol. Every street vendor had cans and cans of Pringles to sell. Some even tried to sell us some when we were moving in the traffic jam. And they ain't cheap for the people because they are imported from North America. In a Brazilian supermarket, it costs 6 Reals (Brazilian dollar) which equals $3.55 U.S.
And at night we went into town, stuffed our faces with Brazilian BBQ. The waiters would bring out all kinds of meat on rotisserie skewers and give you a cut non-stop. It was awesome. And we went to a show full of sexy Brazilian dancers. Check out the fabulous costumes!
