Colonia

Here are some pictures from a recent trip to Colonia, Uruguay (where we actually just spent about 1 1/2 hours so that we could renew our tourist visa for another 3 months).

Here are some pictures from our day trip to Tigre, the popular weekend destination for those wanting to get out of BA. The trip there is wonderful. The train goes along the coast and takes about 30 minutes. Tigre is also known for its markets, especially for an abundance of cheap furniture. I think a day trip is long enough. It was nice to get out of the city but no need to go back. I actually could not imagine having a summer house here because, as you can see in the pics, the water is not inviting (although we did see kids swimming!)
