A day at the beach in La Barra
... a relief that Shane and I weren't staying in this big resort town, which had luxury, high-rise apartments all along that shore but seemed to be a ghost town at this time of year. Presumably, the place springs to life in January when all Argentinians and Uruguayans take their summer break.

Pouring in Piriapolis
