[Greetings from Montevideo! Primitive internet services in Colonia led to the late publication of this blog entry.]
It's almost like Ground Hog Day.... Greetings again from Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. Kate and I arrived here by high speed ferry this very morning. And yet again, the lovely, organized folks at Buquebus failed to remind everyone of the time change. But I have wised up to this little trick and reset my watch promptly.
We're staying in a little B&B which is more like a small hotel built around a quiet and well maintained courtyard. The price was right and we got a room with two beds, so we feel like we're living high on the hog.
When Quad and I toured Colonia last week, the weather was terrible. It rained this morning in Buenos Aires which complicated our packing plans, but by the time we disembarked in Uruguay, the clouds had burned off and it was sunny!!!

While Kate wandered around the city, I sat and read at riverside cafe and enjoyed the scenery. Uruguayans are friendlier than Argentines and being outside of the city made me appreciate the fresh air and QUIET.
