Puerto Iguazu
We arrived into town at about 1:00 and found a hotel that was actually right across from the bus station. After getting settled and getting a bite to eat in town we tracked down the Brazilian embassy. It was actually was located on the same block as our hotel which also made thing quite easy.
We had all our papers in order but I was worried that something could go haywire and throw a monkey wrench in our plans. Although at times it was tough understanding the guy behind the counter as he spoke to us in Portuguese, it was relatively painless and a half hour and $100 each later we had our 90-day Brazilian tourist visas in hand.
Tonight for dinner we asked our waiter, whose mother was from Brazil, to teach us a few phrases in Portuguese to get us ready for tomorrow. It will be the first time on the trip neither of us speak the language of the country we are traveling in, but I think that it will be a fun challenge.
