across the river in uruguay

IMG_1036

while we were in buenos aires, we decided to take a ferry across the widest river in the world and spend a day in uruguay! it was pretty fun to take a quick boat ride to another country {and i was especially excited because uruguay brought my country count up to fifty!}. the little cobblestoned town of colonia del sacramento is perfectly charming and was a nice contrast to the bustle of buenos aires.

^^ soon after we got off the ferry and started to walk into town, we saw these colorful sidewalks. i was instantly sold on this place! ^^

^^ apparently along with cobblestones and bougainvillea, colonia is known for having lots of vintage cars. random, but lovely! ^^

^^ while we waited for the ferry back to argentina, we played a few rousing rounds of nerts. so much card playing on this trip of ours! i really don’t know why i continue to enjoy playing with ian because he basically creams me every single time. ^^

  2. This is awesome! I spent a couple months in Buenos Aires a few summers ago- now I wish we had made the trip across to Uruguay!
