Goodbyes

Today we bid farewell to Iuazu, Brazil, and travel for a while. The morning was spent on the Brazilian side of the falls. I really liked it--the panoramic and unobstructed views allowed for seeing the complete falls, including some very impressive curtains of water not viewable from the Argentinian side. And then there were, of course, the rainbows. With the sun at our backs the mist from the falls created vivid double rainbows all over the place, especially near La Garganta. It was a great morning. We brought all our luggage with us to the park then headed directly to the airport for our flight to Santiago via Sao Paolo. I'm taking care of a few logistics now then heading to bed--work starts in the morning! The quick turnaround will likely be exhausting but it also keeps me on my toes.

One last bit about my travels. Many have made comments on my hat. It's seen a lot of love in the last 5 years. It's stained, tattered and torn from mission trips, road trips, plane trips, and any physical labor I've done on any occasion. Some have suggested bronzing it, others throwing it in the trash. Yesterday it occurred to me--what if it happened to fall down Iguazu? I would never throw it over, that's illegal and involves fines. But...what if the wind just blew it off by accident?

It's been a good run.
