Uruguay

The morning of the 14th we got on a ferry to Colonial de Sacramento, which is a small port colonial city in Uruguay.  It was super nice and charming, but with little to do.  It was picturesque, but that is about all I can say about it.  After a few hours of walking we headed to Montevideo.

Montevideo was a nice small capitol city.  When we got in at night we just walked the main strip along the pedestrian only area and had a steak sandwich for dinner.  We also gawked at all the people having Motta, which was really crazy.  The next day (15th) we headed to the main market to have a giant parilla style lunch, which is more or less as much meat as one can eat in different forms.  It was good, but sickening.  After we rented bikes and roads along the coast, which turned out to be nicer than the rest of the historic district.  Overall Montevideo is a nice city worth seeing if you are in the area, but nothing worth going special to.

The following day (16th) we got on a bus back to Sacramento and then the same ferry back to BA where we would stay until mike leaves on the 20th.
