July 10 Visas and the Brazillian side of the falls










We all got up early to try and get our visas for Brazil, well nearly all of us, Melissa was organized and had hers already so she got to sleep in. We found the funny hole in the wall embassy and paid up our 136 Argentinian pesos for a 30 day visa to Brazil, processing time is only supposed to take 2 hours, but it ended up taking nearly 5. When we got our visas back we jumped into a cab and headed over the border to check out the falls. Luckily there is not as much to see over the Brazillian side (keep in mind, it is well worth checking out for the overall views) so it only took 2 hours to see it all + racoons (we were warned about the racoons in an announcement over the bus radio "dont feed the racoons as they may become aggressive, attack and take all your food from you. They are known to carry diseases such as rabies, have a nice day." obviously the Germans didnt get that message and began feeding/teasing the racoons from their pockets with chips, I was getting extremely excited at the possibilty of one of racoons attacking and rolling the tourist for his chips, it didnt happen though :() After that, we headed out to a local family restaurant and ate meat cooked on swords!
