I arrived in Colonia de Sacremento, Uruguay last night and got right into taking some night shots of the beautiful city.
Then I got up early this morning to see the sights without having to fight through the crowds of ‘day trippers’. If you’re ever in Colonia you’ll be glad for this tip!
For lunch I splurged on a patio table in this tiny restaurant right beside the main tourist spot. I felt like I was in a secret garden because I could see these hoards of tourists walking by, but they didn’t notice my little window. At one point a brilliant blue hummingbird flew in and was checking out the plants on the wall beside me. I had the local wine called Tannat and an artesian meat and cheese plate. There was only one thing missing… and he’s singing and dancing on stage in Medicine Hat!
I had a nap in the afternoon to try to shake this cold I picked up, then I spent golden hour listening to a band play in a park.
Tomorrow I’m taking the bus to Montevideo. I’m looking forward to a couple days of reconnecting with my friends Hugo and Javier who I met while walking the Camino last year.
Love the secret garden spot! Keep the posts coming . . . . . love hearing about your adventures!
cool!
