Uruguay - Colonia del Sacramento
One hour boat ride from Buenos Aires, we arrived in Colonia, a historical port town in Uruguay. An Argentine guy we met in Buenos Aires jokingly told us that Uruguay is like a suburb of Buenos Aires. I don´t think we should repeat that joke here.Thanks to immaculate research and planning, we are spending July and August in South America, in the dead of its winter. By the time we get to Europe in September, we will have missed Europe´s sunny summer season. I blame Bill.
Bill looking very cold:
Colonia is very cute, with 17th century buildings and cobble stone streets. That being said, sometimes I miss the ´old lady in traditional dress almost sitting on Bill´s lap in a crowded mini-van with live chicken in the trunk´ type experience of Central and northern South America.

The good thing about the cold is that at least you aren't constantly sweating through your 4 pairs of underwear.
RB - That´s true. We have been going for a while without having to do laundry.
it's been 95+ here in Spokane for the last couple weeks.... sweating right now (not through my underwear...wait...OK, maybe a little)
Jeanette - (or is this Donnie?)
Just a note to tell you we are watching and enjoying. Also, if you are going to the UK and would like an intro to a couple who share your profession (probably will welcome you international hobos and might even help you get out of the cold for a few days) please email us. Bob & Bobbi.
