3 countries...one day

Most of you will know that I am keeping a country count of sorts, and on Jan 3 we added 2 more countries in just one day. I think I am up to about 57 now, but I met a man who told me he had over 80...long way to go.

So we started in Iguassu Falls, Argentina, crossed to Brazil, then straight to Paraguay. Here we saw a really big dam called Itaipu. It is the world's largest hydroelectric plant. Then they took us shopping in a market. Apparently the Argentines like to shop here as they have a 40% tax on electrical goods, so get stuff cheap in Paraguay.

A huge buffet lunch was provided...more steak...

Then finally back to Brazil, where we got to see Iguassu Falls from their angle. Then back to Argentina. Great day.
