the morning after my birthday we woke early & began preparations for our trip into uruguay. we took a massive ferry from b.a. to a small city called colonia. what a gem! colonia is right on the ocean with cobblestone streets and quaint restaurants everywhere. old buildings abound & it was quite the change of pace from the big city. we spent the afternoon just cruising around the town (something you can do in an afternoon) & then watched a gorgeous sunset. post sunset we wandered around looking for a suitable restaurant and found just the one. we enjoyed a delicious meal & local wine. on our walk back to our hostel (my first stay in a hostel ever!) we ran into a troupe of bongo players on the street. it is things like these that whet my palette for travel - an intoxicating beat filling the cobblestone streets as people danced along with them through the town - so exhilarating!
the transnational miranda.
