Iguazú Falls

Iguazú falls was terrific. When I first saw the falls, I stopped and stared. The water cascaded downwards, struck the bottom hard and was launched into the sky creating a refreshing mist. The falls were as large as two football fields! All the water in the falls, below the falls and above the falls was white with force. On the second lookout, we were down by the lake looking up at the falls instead of down. It looked like something out of a dream. The quantity of the falls were enormous! After the white there was turquoise blue. There was a little island in the middle that had a blanket of trees and bushes of all different shades of green. There was also, as if it couldn’t be any better, a bright shining rainbow that stretched over the falls and the little island. I made a mental camera in my mind and make a “click” sound with my teeth, wanting to preserve it in my mind forever. We also went on a full moon tour of the falls. To get there, we took a train. We had taken the train earlier that day, but when we took the train in the day it was scorching hot and uncomfortable. Now, at night, the cool breeze swept across my cheeks as I leaned out the window. You could hear the falls in the distance and the sound of birds reporting our presence. When we got there, I could barely see the water fall off the cliff. It was so dark, despite the full moon. We could mostly just hear the water rushing down. Without the daytime crowds, you could relax and listen to the water.
