Last night we went to eat at the famous Bufalo Branco restaurant.
Likely the best place in the city for churrasco (grilled meat) according to Frommer's guide. For the main course, waiters offer a range of popular cuts such as picanha (rump steak), alcatra (top sirloin), filet mignon, maminha (a fattier rump steak), and contra filet (entrecĂ´te).

Sveta was a little more adventurous. She tried all of the above and also the delicious... grilled turkey testicles... what a treat... Jordan was not quite as impressed...

Good Evening,

This is Sveta with a summary of Today; June 25th, 2007.

The day started nice and early at 8:00 am with a drive to the Argentinian boarder to the town of Iguassu. This is the location of the "famous" Iguassu Falls. DSCF0569x.jpg

These falls ranged from massive water falls to little streams. The largest of the falls was called "the devils throat". Local natives called it this because they believed that this was the location of the end of the world.

On our through the forest, we encountered local wildlife. Monkeys, local raccons, and all types of birds wandered through out the park.

That about sums up the events that took place today.

Ciao...:)
