Quite The Wonder

There once was a God, who planned to marry a beautiful woman named Naipi at the top of a giant river. However, like so many women have done before, Naipi ran off with some guy in a canoe. The angry, devastated God sliced the river in half, condemning the two poor, paddle-less lovers to an eternal fall. And so began the day. She awoke in her hostel to blistering heat, the power was out and there was no water. Just another day, living in paradise. Once sufficiently embarrassed from walking into things and hurting herself whilst awakening people from peaceful slumber, she set out on her voyage. One that of course she, as always, would never forget. Two bus rides, walking ages and waiting with forced patience for the elderly later, she was finally there. What was it she saw as she stood, eagerly peaking out atop the 82 foot tall lookout? Why it was water of course. 1, 756 cubed metres of it. She had even gotten a photo of the exact look on her face the moment she saw it. The Argentine side, entitled, 'Garganta del Diablo' or Devil's Throat. Later, she took part in a lovely boat ride on the Brazilian side, underneath the falls in search of the cheating siren Miss Naipi. The name of this vast body of water is entitled 'Iguazu Falls' which translates to 'Big Water.' The Iguazu river flows through these falls, dropping from 60-82 feet, and flowing through the border between Brazil and Argentina. There are always moments in life, my precious doll-faced heavenlies, which words cannot describe. A picture cannot express it, you can't be bothered trying to explain it, it is simply quite impossible. Unless you are there in person, have seen it with your own eyes, it becomes just another picture. Just another explanation about something that quite honestly you wouldn't normally consider or care about. This, my friends, was exactly how she felt. She gasped the instant she laid eyes on it. There are not many things which have taken her breath away, but this had stolen it right from her lungs, right out from under her nose even without her realization of such theft. The water plummeted to the depths of nothingness, millions of pale feathers floating so uniform, effortlessly wafting up the whitest of flour. The gushing cascades fell so peacefully, harmoniously they sang to the bottom of an icing sugar-white mist. Laughing, they disappeared deep underneath the perpetual white blanket that fibbed there was a river below. Last November Iguazu Falls was named one of the 'Seven Wonders Of Nature.' Is it any wonder that I, myself a wonder of the world, would gaze at such a wonderful Seventh Wonder that creates this wonderful world? Miss Iguazu.
