IGUAZU

In the Guarani language, Iguazu means big water.  We can attest.  I don't know about my physicist, but Catbird has never been more thoroughly wet outside of a shower or a swimming pool.  Between the rain in the morning, the spray from the falls and the crazy boat-ride at the end of the day, it took three days of Texas sunshine to dry out Catbird's "waterproof" shoes.

 Here we are at the beginning of the day, at Garganta del Diablo,  the mouth of the devil.  This is the most powerful set of falls, as seen at the top left of the map.

There are almost 300 different falls and the train and catwalks take you out through dozens of different views and it is all beautiful.   For the history and dimensions, interested readers can go do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguazu_Falls.  Catbird doesn't have many pithy words of her own to add to this account, so will just post more pictures instead.
