We Live in a Beautiful World

Colonia, Uruguay Apr 5, 2005

While travelling from Montevideo to Buenos Aires we spent an afternoon in the picturesque colonial town appropriately named Colonia. It was fonded in 1680 by the Portugese and was a major centre for smuggling goods into Argentina. It is a UNESCO heritage sight as its colonial buildings and reconstructed city walls are some of the best in South America. We enjoyed a warm fall afternoon strolling its cobblestone streets as we waited for our boat to Argentina.
