2/15  We woke up today and the sun was shining, perfect for the falls.  Had a good breakfast, which is included and headed out.  On the way we found Daniel, another super fun taxi driver. He took us to the park and came back 7 hours later to pick us up.  We walked ALL day.  It was overcast, so that was perfect.  There is really no way to describe these falls.  Niagara Falls looks like a little stream compared to these falls.  Simply amazing.  Of course I took a gazillion pictures knowing none of them will do them justice.  Oh well, at least we will know.  Saw so many butterflys it felt like we were in the conservatory.  They are huge and so colorful.  Not really any good pictures of those, way to hard to capture.  They were landing on people and flying around like flies.  So cool.  We also saw coatis.  I think they are a combination racoon and ant eater.  Very strange looking.  There were even little babies walking around. 
Of course it started to pour, but just as we were getting on the little train that takes you to the highest look out point.  Perfect and believe it or not, as soon as we got there it stopped and the same thing happened on the way down.  Talk about good luck.
Just as he promised, Daniel was there when we got to the exit and took us home.
Germaine and I sent the boys to the grocery store to get tonights dinner - not sure what they will come back with.
In the meantime, we just finished making our reservation at the next hostel (La Toscan Hostel) in Puerto Madryn for Monday night.  We made it for 4 nights to start with.  This is the area near Penninsula Valdes, where all the whales, sea lions and penguins are.  Hopefully well see lots.
Oh, just want you all to know that I recognize that I am not using apostrophes.  I cant figure out how to get the spanish keyboard to make them.  Ha Ha.
Tomorrow we are thinking of going to the nature preserve.  They have monkies, pumas, and all sorts of exotic animals.  Well see!
