Greetings From The Top of the Lighthouse


Buena Noche Buena!
Today was a comfortable day for relaxing here in Colonia. We spent over an hour sitting on the top of the lighthouse in the historical center. The wind was blowing gently which made the temperature perfect for watching sailboats go by in the river. We spent another hour siting on the shore on the other side of the peninsula reading under a tree while mothers tried to convince their young swimmers to come in closer to the shore. The muddy water certainly didn't entice us to get even our toes wet, but the kids were having a great time.



We have purchased sandwich making ingredients and a ham & cheese torta for tomorrow along with fresh fruit including Keith's favorite, watermelon, so we don't have to worry about finding another open on Christmas. We plan to ride an Urban bus just a few kilometers down the road to another scenic village.
We are enjoying the slow lifestyle here, resting up for our upcoming travels.
