Colonia de Sacramento


Colonia is the oldest city in Uruguay. Founded by a Portuguese man, it was the spying point to see what the Spaniards were bringing in to Buenos Aires... I think it's amusing and a tad bit scandalous...
Last week was exciting: my mom arrived for 2 weeks. We've been to Montevideo, Colonia and Punta del Este. We've made the "east coast" rounds and super early (way too early for me) Wednesday morning we're leaving to head into the interior to Salto, where we'll be staying for a couple of days. I'm really excited to go, but am kind of sad too because it means her trip is coming to an end. What I need to remember is that there's still a whole lot more in April yet (including a few days in Argentina) and when May rolls around I only have 4 more months here!
