Back in Buenos Aires

We returned from Uruguay last night. While in Uruguay we spent time in two cities, Colonia and Montevideo (the capital). Colonia is a beautiful little city on the coast, with a range of resorts and beaches. We actually took a very modern ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia. The city reminded me a little bit of Monterey, California. I really loved Colonia and feel it would be a wonderful place to own a small art shop and retire. I can dream can't I! :)

Montevideo is much smaller than Beunos Aires and my impression was it was not as lively either. It's not exactly the city that never sleeps, like Buenos Aries. When we arrived in town and went out for dinner around 10-11pm, most places were closed. I did enjoy walking around Montevideo in the afternoon. Like Buenos Aires, there were a lot of unique shops and craft vendors along the streets.

Here are some photos of Justin and I around Colonia.



























Today we spent most of the day around Recoleta. We are off to a birthday party tonight in the city for Steve and Cali's friend Aiden. He is here from New Zealand and works at the Spanish school, Steve and Cali attend. I will have to write more about Recoleta and our evening adventures tomorrow!
