Colonia del Sacramento

A small Uruguayian town...a world heritage site.

Colonia del Scaramento, Uruguay

... than once in this manner, too. Colonia del Sacramento falls into this second category. It's small, deceptively small. It's also cute, Colonia, very cute. It's small and it's cute. From what I have seen though, not alot actually happens here. In fact, ...
