Last night Beverly, Michelle and I set off on a 17-hour bus trip from Buenos Aires to see the largest waterfall system in the world, Iguazu Falls. Like Niagara Falls, it spans two countries: Argentina and Brazil. We are hoping to visit both sides.

I was feeling some trepidation about doing such a long trip by bus. (For perspective, it is the equivalent of driving from Buffalo NY to Texarkana TX). But the bus cost a fraction of what a flight costs, so we decided to try it. Turns out, it’s the most comfy bus ride I’ve ever had. The chairs were like La-Z-Boys; I wanted to take one home with me. The seating was thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space, almost-flat recline, a unique foot rest, USB port, and curtains separating passengers. I would definitely do another long-distance trip on a bus like this one.

Tomorrow, we head to see the falls.
