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.
Ten minutes by bus further east along the coast is La Barra, a sleepy beach resort town. It comprised a few expensive cafes ...
Pouring in Piriapolis

So we need to make arrangements to have it shipped home. Juan Carlos says ...
Homer was right...
... walks on the beach. Despite a massive thunderstorm on our first night, we had blue skies for the most part, but it was so windy, sunbaking wasn't really an option.
On our second day, we saw a sealion on the beach. Unfortunately, it was dead. At first I thought it was a dog, and then Rob tried to convince me it was a penguin (he knows how much I love them). When I worked out what it was, I felt like ...
