We took a ferry to Colonia, Uruguay on Wednesday. It's a well preserved little town on the coast that was colonized by the Portuguese. Really pretty and a lot beachier than I was expecting. We really just walked around all day and stopped at the various lookout points. Apparently, this is where the Buenos Aires elite go during the summer to get out of the heat, but since it's Fall there, it was a pretty quiet day.
The highlight may have been sitting in a cute little cafe, and noticing a large, cheesy poster of an 80's Neil Diamond look-alike (Latin version) ... and then noticing Romeo himself, plus about 30 years and as many pounds, sitting in front of the poster. If there had been any way to take a picture without being completely offensive, trust me, I would have. But you'll have to take my word for it. The main event in Colonia is supposedly riding scooters up the coast. However, we didn't get the memo that there is a special scooter license. Still not sure I completely believe that. Maybe the guy could just sense what a bad driver I am. But, at any rate, we settled for a bright blue go-cart. Photo attached. It delivered us to a little churro stand that was sent straight down from heaven.
