So we've finally been here a total of three months, which is basically unbelievable. While part of me feels like I've experienced and seen so much already it's crazy to think that that much time has passed. Anyways, with our 90 day tourist visas that we're here on the time has come to travel. Given that our time here has been limited so we haven't had much chance to make much money yet we were looking for something affordable and convenient. There are ferries right from Buenos Aires to Uruguay which only take an hour and drop you off in Colonia. While we could've taken a bus and gone to the excitement of touristy Punta del Este beach country or checked out Montevideo we (Dan, our friend Rachel, and myself) were really looking for a break from the hustle and craziness that can be Buenos Aires, so we just stayed in Colonia.
Colonia is a quiet and quaint but really quite lovely city in Uruguay. It used to be a Portuguese sea port/base but now serves as a more low key tourist destination. Pretty low key vacation- drank some wine, walked around, ate some really cheap and delicious meals (2o:1 for the dollar). Here's some pictures! hope you enjoy
cobblestone streets always make for a nice ambience
the view of the river, not the best of days but still a pretty sight
