Rio de Janeiro :: The Other Side of Carnival

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

While all the revelry of Carnival certainly didn't create a negative reaction of equal proportions, it did throw the daily lives of the homeless into stark contrast with the joyously carefree world surrounding them.

Postcards from Argentina :: Iguazú Falls

 

After a long bus ride north, we stumbled into the sleepy little town of Iguazú on the Argentinian side of the cataratas. Photos and rumors of Iguazú fall´s magesty did little to prepare us for the next three days spent exploring the maze of pathways that surround the thundering cataracts. 

Thunderstorms alternated pleasantly with the hot jungle sun, and our down time in the town spent playing futbol pickup matches, putting the hostel kitchen to good use, and swapping stories with other travelers was a nice change of pace from the bustle of the city.
