This past weekend I went to PUNTA DEL ESTE and then to COLONIA in Uruguay. We left on Thursday morning for the infamous beach destination, Punta del Este. It was amazing - we spent all of Thursday and Friday soaking up the sun, playing soccer on the beach, listening to music, reading, etc. It was so nice to relax and not feel any pressure to do anything touristy. The water was freezing cold and the town was slow because it is not high season, but it was lovely. Our hostel, 1949, was the dirtiest and most disgusting hostel I have ever encountered, but that didn't stop us. We just avoided it (and the shower) at all costs. We went to great dinners and saw amazing sunsets.
On Sunday we went to Colonia to see the town and our program director's bed & breakfast, La Casa de los Limoneros. The town was adorable, small, all cobblestone. The house was incredible!!! It is so perfectly designed, they didn't miss one detail, its sunny and warm, has 7 rooms to rent, and we had the best lunch in the world. Its a wedding destination for sure.
