Colonia del Sacramento - Uruguay

And here we are in a lovely picturesque (colonial, of course) town in Uruguay but 20 miles across the bay from Buenos Aires, our next port of call. A sleepy place this is though we have seen some cool dune buggy quad like little cars for rent that we had considered racing around the quiet streets. Slowly we continue southwards and into the cold. 12 degrees in Montevideo and I felt like I was freezing my balls off if I had any to freeze. Just shows how unused I've become to temperate climate, tropical lass I am! Tonight we went to restaurant and enjoyed some very close range operaesque singing. Quite good really but at close range feels a bit more like assualt than entertainment. Tomorrow we will explore the tiny town and the lighthouse which is at alarming proximity to some people's homes. The next time I'm on I'm sure I'll be in Argentina and most likely the great metropolis of Buenos Airs, until then! In other news I'm just about finished the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. Anyone who's been around the past year and a half or so will be aware of the gargantuan task it has been for me. It's been so long it feels like a part of my life is coming to a close (a huge exaggeration but I'm feeling hyperbolic!). Goodbye Waterhouses and Shaftoes and of course, Isaac Newton!
