Itaipu Dam

I was re-inspired to my engineering roots! After taking a dam tour of one of the best dams in the world, I kind of want to design things again- concrete pillars, dams, the whole thing. It was exciting- if not pretty nerdy. Alex and I struggled to ask all our dorky questions in Portuguese, and the guides struggled to answer in English. It was a fun day. But rainy. We ended up not really going to Paraguay (though we crossed the border on the dam tour) and instead, just chilled at the hostel, wrapped up in blankets- true to our Midwest roots. :)
