When we last wrote we were in Buenos Aries. After our third and final day there, we boarded a bus heading to Posadas, Argentina which is about an 815 mile, 14 hour trip away. Then we were driven about three miles to the Paraguayan border.
Iguazu Falls, which is located on the Parana River between Brazil and Argentina, is one of the great waterfalls of the world. Legend has it that when Eleanor Roosevelt first saw it, she said, “Poor Niagara!”
We are on the last full day of our trip through central South America, having arrived in our fourth and final country, Uruguay. It is the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America, having only about four million inhabitants.
We spent last weekend in Portland, Oregon, as Darren ran in the Portland Marathon on Sunday morning. We had never been there before and I didn’t have a lot of time to research what to see and do. I thought I would use this as an opportunity to rely heavily on my iPhone for assistance.
Lauren and I are now in Fort William, on the western side of Scotland and a major gateway to the highlands. We spent three days here enjoying the scenery while dodging rain storms.
It is Saturday morning and we are preparing to leave Edinburgh, our last stop in Scotland. We arrived here early Thursday afternoon after our last train pass journey from Fort William, via a change in Glasgow.
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, was our last stop on our train journey. We spent time here visiting many historic sights as well as several museums.
