Morro 3




































































a nightview from the starboard quarter



























i suck at cooking...














this scene reminded me of "free willy"



















eeewwww...this is the log we must cross to jump to our boat



















ninja mo, always ready to fight evil or a photographer














After the trip we came back to the boat in Morro Bay to clean it up and prepare for the sail north to San Fran. At the moment the boat is ready, but we are waiting for a captain to travel the 2 day trip with us. So we will wait...hopefully soon, another week or so of waiting...

animals of Iguazu

































I dont know what kind of animal the top two images are but the bottom is a capebarra, a rodent.

Cataratas de Parque Nacional Iguazu-Waterfalls

The river Iguazo is split by more than 20 waterfalls. I was only able to see from the upper side of the falls, to see the lower you must enter Brazil. This area of the upper river was incredible the water fell quickly and was deafening.












































mariposas (butterfly) of Iguazu, Argentina






















have you ever seen anything like this?












I have never seen such colorful butterflies! Many had one coloring on the outside of the wings and a completely different color and pattern on the inside. The butterflies were everywhere along the trails leading up to the waterfalls. I was only able to capture a few images, unfortunately they move so quickly!

Buenos Aires 4 La Boca















La Boca is a very poor neighborhood; many buildings are barely standing. What is lacking in quality is made up for in creativity; La Boca is a must see tourist sight. People in Buenos Aires call themselves Porteros, a name lifted from the poor folks that lived in La Boca whose occupations revolved around the shipping port.
