Uruguay

Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

During Spring Break 2006, a group of teachers and I went on a little trip to Uruguay. We stayed a few days in Montevideo, and then went to a little town called Colonia del Sacramento. Colonia was very charming and really gave me a feel for the country of Uruguay. Uruguay seems to have a perfect mixture of the laid-back Brazilian culture and the old, European feel of places like Argentina. It was wonderful. We went on a bike ride through the town, stayed in a nice hostel, watched the sunset, sampled the food. Then we went on an overpriced Buquebus boat trip across the bay to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of us had been there before, but BsAs is a wonderful city to revisit. The trip to Uruguay completed my round of central and southern South America and it was a great last fling with friends from ACA.

Durante los vacaciones de primavera, un grupo de maestras y yo fuimos a Uruguay. Quedamos pocos dias en Montevideo, y despues fuimos a un pueblo llamada Colonia de Sacramento. Colonia era muy encantadoro y realmente me dio el sentido uruguayo. Parece que Uruguay tiene la mezcla perfecta de la cultura relajada de Brasil y el sentido viejo y europeo de lugares como Argentina. Era maravillosa. Despues fuimos en un viaje carisimo en un Buquebus por la bahía a Buenos Aires, Argentina. La mayoridad de nosotras hemos ido a esa ciudad antes, pero BsAs en una ciudad muy buena para revisitar. El viaje a Uruguay completó mi "tur" de los partes central y sur de Sur America y era un vacacion final con mis amigas de ACA.
