And, our final minutes in Corrientes. Our friends suprised us with a banner at the bus station. (Tears were everywhere). As you can tell, we will never forget this place nor the people. It was an amazing time of community and love for us. God taught us far more than we imagined He would, humbling us at every turn in the road. We will always remember this beautiful time in our lives.

Our final club (sad!) Jennifer and Carol in their run-on "Mamerta y El Gran Mago." Stace, I finally got to be in a run-on...girls are funny!!!

Our "Thank You Dinner" for all the Young Life Leaders. We posed in front of the Argentine flag in our apartment.

A typical Argentine Family wearing traditional clothing.

Jennifer enjoys Locro, a traditional Argentine food at the Pujol`s Quinta on the 25th of May (Argentine Independence Day).

Skip, Rose and Jen at San Ignacio Jesuit Ruin. We were sad to have to say goodbye to our friends here, but were thrilled that they came to visit us!

"Don`t go chasing waterfalls!" Skip and Dave taking a little "shower." The water pressure was a little strong.

One of the ugly animals (Coaties) that roamed the tourist crowded areas at the waterfalls begging for food. This animal actually crawled up on our lunch table and stole my sandwich out of my hand! Stupid animal.

What a set of models!

Who`s the American in this picture?

And from the Brazil side. (Iguazu sits right on the boarder of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) We visited Brazil and were greeted with this beautiful view.

Jennifer and Dave almost literally under one of the waterfalls.

Jennifer and Rose strike a pose.

While the Devil�s Throat may be the biggest, there are miles and miles of prettier waterfalls up in Iguazu. Here are a set of my favorites...they remind me of those motivational posters people have hanging in their offices...you know, the ones that say "TEAM WORK" or "MOTIVATION." I say, get motivated to get out of your office and see those waterfalls for real, man!

After the welcome dinner, we got Rose from the bus station and headed up to Iguazu, the worlds largest set of waterfalls! It is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world! Here we stand literally on top of the Devil`s Throat, the largest of the waterfalls.

More of our friends! Daniel makes a funny face as Grisy hugs her husband, Sugus at our welcome dinner for Skip.

Soli, one of our friends, always cooked amazing meals for us while we were in Corrientes. Here, she cooks a welcome meal for Skip in Daniel`s apartment (which also happens to be the upstairs area of the church). Doesn`t that look tasty? Her cooking is the reason we are coming back a few pounds heavier.

Whew hew, look at those bellies! Skip made the mistake of coming to an Argentine Young Life club...look what we did to him!!! He was a good sport!

We had a special visit for 10 days from Skip Powell, our recently doned Doctor friend from Minneapolis (well Chicago now for his residency). Skip shows off his Mate (gourd from which you drink yerba, or Argentine tea) to Daniel and Dave. Daniel is one of our great friends and Young Life leader in Corrientes.

Dave enjoying his FAVORITE Argentine treat...helado (ice cream) with Ivanna and Valeria. The ice cream here is out of this world! It rivals gelato in Italy!

The Pujol girls, (l to r) Valeria, Ivanna, and Nicole. Beautiful, huh? Bet you didn`t expect blonds down here, did you? They are true, blue Argentines, not imports!

Here is a picture of our weekend in Paso de la Patria with Carol and Eduardo`s family. Edu`s family has a wonderful house right on the Parana river. Here, (l to r) are Carol, Eduardo, Ben (principal of Mecenas and Carol`s brother) and MariaRosa. 2 great families and friends of ours.

Dave with Victoria "fishing" for minos. That is my style of fishing!

Jennifer with Victoria, and MariaRosa Pujol, the child and wife of the principal of Mecenas, the school where we volunteered teaching English Conversation classes. They took us on our first adventure outside of Corrientes to MariaRosa`s Dad`s land. It was BEAUTIFUL! Dave says I look Argentine here...I take that as a compliment!

What you have all been waiting for, more pictures of Corrientes! Here is a beautiful old church outside Corrientes in the small town of Santa Anna. I can`t quite remember how old the church is...lets just say REALLY old. Pretty colors, huh?
