I don’t know if I’d want to stay here for a long time, but it’s fun to go for a day trip. The guy I went with was kinda not into the whole tourist thing, which, if you go to someplace like Colonia you’ve got to enjoy being a tourist. I’ll admit it is a tourist trap, but it’s a fun one.

To me it was real pituresque. I wouldn’t have minded doing the whole stereotypical sit out an easel and paint type deal, but I’d left my paints at home when I went because I only had so much space in my backpack.

Also, it’s good if you’re say staying in Argentina for more than the 90 days you get with your passport, you leave, go to Uruguay, come back in, and low and behold, you’re back to day zero. And, it’s just across the river on the buquebus.

When I went, my friend and I saw the missippi queen from the buquebus window and it made me laugh.
