"Oh have you? Isn't it a wonder???! Makes Niagara Falls look like a puddle! It's places like that where I feel like I'm suddenly close to God or something, and I'm not very religious. Another place I feel like that is when I've been in the North African desert. I wish they'd shown a bit more of the Falls in MR (yeah, yeah, I know they only have 2 hours of film, Jaelle!)"

Yes, it is breathtaking. I only recently saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, last December. That's the only thing I've seen that compares, although I prefer the tropical, garden of Eden feel of Iquacu...I highly reccomend a trip to The GC if you haven't been. It lives up to all the hype!

Jack Bauer's daughter was annoying me so I decided to switch DVDs and watch Moonraker instead. The night ended up being a double-header with For Your Eyes Only afterwards. :)

This VH thing is also annoying. There is no reference what so ever made as to why Manuella is from Station VH.

For some reason I keep thinking of Venezuela, though. But, why an MI6 operative from there would be working in Rio let alone Brazil at all is a mystery. Rio being a well known large city would have its owm operatives one would assume.

Maybe there's a reference to it in Woods' novelisation. I doubt very much there'd be one in Flemings book, but there could be I suppose a reference elsewhere in his other Bond novels. Could be an interesting trivia question if there is.
