... new. We ate lunch on the beach. Beautiful, red, ripe and juicy tomato sandwiches. Real tomatoes, with flavor and soft skins, not genetically modified to travel well. <br><br>We pulled over to have a photo session at the 'fingers in the sand' monument, at the beach at Punte Del Este and could hardly get away from all the people who were interested in our trip. We had so many photos taken of us, on cameras and on mobile phones, it was getting ...

... driven just over 100 kms to get to the town of Maldando, which again has a large campsite in the area. The tourist office was closed when we arrived, but we managed to get directions to the campsite. Once again it is a huge place, although this time about 2 kms from the beach and about 5 to town. <br><br>2nd - Another very quiet and relaxed day.<br><br>Pictures are for the house in next entry.

... around, went to bed then the next day did pretty much the same combined with going on the chairlift to the top of the "mountain" which occupied us for like half an hour. The town was nice but as you can guess, not an awful lot to do, on the 28th we got on a bus heading back to Colonia to get our ferry back to Argentina and a bit of life...

... and I notice there are high school students everywhere. There are 1,000`s of them. They are all hanging out on the boardwalk/sidewalk that runs along the beach just chilling and passing bottles of beer around. They all have their car doors open and music blasting and I think how awesome would it be to be a teenager and spend your summer here especially since drinking here is so easy for young kids. I think about trying to hang out with them and I ...

... 20 people there. It's not even that nice. Sometimes I dig unpopulated beaches but not today. I head back to the other beach and apparently the two lovebirds are done with their lil romp out in the open. The weather is perfect today with no clouds and the beach is fairly packed and girls from Uruguay are pretty hot. I try to get into a volleyball game but I don't really know how to go about it. I talk to this one guy but I don ...

... produce all of their own meats and pastas and you can actually see the livestock running around that will produce the next days dinner. The boys all had the lamb, which was out of this world and massive. The girls went for the pasta which was also extremely fine. Unfortuntely Beatriz couldnçt make this trip because she had a cold, but I am pleased to report that she is much better now. Sabri and her friends convinced us that we ...

bush loves blueberries and so does uruguay... Ok so heres the scoop, Aparently when Bush came and visited uruguay he mentioned that he loves blueberries, and now For some odd reason this leftist country is CRAZY FOR BLUE Berries. First i´ll mention ...

... escape. In the afternoon, Cierra shopped and I watched the locals. When that wasn't enough, we decided to go look at a famous person. In Plaza Independencia, the monument to Jose Artigas is also the entrance to his mausoleum below, an immense and breathtaking space. Everything is done in grey and black, with recessed lights thrown upon the walls for a striking effect. Two soldiers silently stand guard beside a giant urn that holds the ashes. Mausoleums don ...

... Este, which translates into "East Point", is a very popular summer destination for people from Uruguay and Argentina as well. In the high season (December through Febuary)it's incredibly crowded, noisy and busy so I thought it was a good idea to get to know the city in its normal everyday mode, away from the frenzy of summer tourists. The only thing missing was warm weather. Can't have it all. So we took a few days off work to prolong our trip, booked the ferry from BA ...
