Foz do Iguacu - Itaipu & Tres Fronteras May 15, 2012

We flew from Curitiba to Foz do Iguacu with Belo, Bela, Ellis, and Terry. We finally got some nice sunny weather. And just in time to see some outdoor landmarks. First we visited Itaipu which is a huge dam built by Brazil and Paraguay. The river runs between the two countries and they share the generated power 50/50. We took a bus ride tour to see it all. We went back to the hotel for lunch, had naps, played a bit by the pool, then headed off to see the markers of the three frontiers - Tres Fronteras: Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. You could see each country's marker from across the river. We even drove across the bridge into Argentina and did a little shopping.
