Easter and the Devil's Throat

We had a great Easter. It was low-key, and I think that we were all pleased that the Easter Bunny remembered that we were no longer in Colorado. We had a nice egg hunt in our upstairs and the kids were sporting their new Easter duds.


Each holiday brings with it both the pain of missing a family member, and the knowledge that we will all be together again. Our kids are so sweet, and we are often reminded of the extra incentive we have to be good. Our life in Argentina is good.

As for the second part of the title, La Garganta del Diablo, or Devil's Throat, is the largest of 200-plus distinct waterfalls at Iguazu Falls National Park in northern Argentina (on the border with Brazil). It is on our list for a future family trip, but I was able to make it up there for work, so don't be surprised if some images appear in the future with Candace and I. While I'm warning you in advance for the duplication, I think it will be worth the double look.

It was a special treat since the water levels are particularly high this time of year. Making the flow that much more impressive.

For Claire's Quote of the Week, she said: "Mommy, Coca-Cola (spoken with an Argentine accent) is Spanish for Coke."

She is hilarious.

  2. April 2003 General Conference, "The Devil's Throat" by James E. Faust is one of my favorite talks. I was excited that you posted about this waterfall...if I'm not mistaken, this the waterfall he's referring to but maybe I'm wrong. Cute Easter outfit! Your kids are darling.

  3. We visited the Brazil side of Iguacu years ago. There is nothing like it. I was so overwhelmed with its power and beauty--and a little creeped out when I imagined being swept up in it. Makes Niagra look so small in comparison. Glad you got to enjoy this.
