Sao Paulo and Foz do Iguacu

Hello again!
Me and Diego wanted to fix the document in Sao Paulo, but Laurens boss and stepfather heard what we talked about and said if she sign she may go to prison cause she dont know us. Gracielle tried to make contact with another frend living in Sao Paulo, named Will, but we didnt make contact with him. We saw the Sao Paulo´s pride parad wich is the largest in the world, but we didnt see much more than the Paulista Avenue. We stayed in Sao Paulo one day more than planned, and was together with Gracielle on her paus this monay before we left to the metro and went back to the Rodoviario station and bought our ticket to Foz do Iguacu. The bus was less comfortable than the last one, but they did show a film on the television, Rambo, not interresting... We slept good in the bus and the next day we were in Foz do Iguacu in the state of Paraná. Diego was fashinated about the brown dead leaves on the ground looking like the leave on Canada´s flag, but I have seen them everyday in Sweden, so for me it was not a new. We found a place for 50 reais without breakfast, we took it. Later we took a two busses to the Iguacufalls, there we payd a ticket and went on a bus that took us to the falls. The falls were wonderful, and very cool to bad it started to rain and the rain suit was 7 reais, to expencive so we skipped it. We ate cup noodles in a kiosk and when the rain stopped we continued. We went out on a bridge to see the Devil´s Throught, it was so powerful view to stand there. We went on an elevator up were we could see the river from above, and also the flag of Argentina on the other side, it was cool for both me and Diego. Later we took the bus home to our room.
Today we left Foz do Iguacu to take a buss to Ciudad del Este. We left the bus at the Friendship Bridge, so I could have the stamp that I leave Brazil, then we walked across the bridge, and walked over the yellow line showing the border between Brazil and Paraguay. Diego felt sad for leaving his country, first time he go to another country, he felt saudade when he looked across the Parana river and saw his homeland there on the other side. Ciudad del Este is not specially beautiful, alot of commercial and people selling things, almost hunting us to make us buy. We found one place to sleep in for 80 000 guarani, its around 35 reais I think. Cause of inflation, the guarani is worht almost nothing. Richt now we are here on a cyber for 4000 guarani per hour. This was all for today, see you again, bye!
