Colonia

We went to Colonia yesterday, and had a blast. Something about getting away from the big city felt very good for both of us. The town was had cobblestone streets, lots of greenery and tropical type flowers, a few old Spanish ruins, and houses in pastels just like the Bahamas. I took a lot of pictures, but yesterday my camera phone died so they won´t be up until we run into nikki or get home.

We went up to the top of a tall lighthouse where you could see the whole city, and the ocean, though very muddy and brown, was nice to have close by. The plazas were calm and relaxed, and Markham and I threw frisbee a fair amount in them while young kids watched on in awe. Young kids are really fascinated by frisbee I have started to notice. Belle Meade, parks in Buenos Aires, Colonia - anywhere we go kids really want to learn how to throw.

At the lighthouse we met a girl named Morgan who is a sophomore at UPenn. She was very nice, but something seemed really off about her. It was like her brain had lag or something, she would answer questions and say things but she seemed like she was in lala land or somehthing because it always took her a while and she just was giving off a weird vibe. She was nice though, and we ate lunch together. In the restaurant, when markham took his jacket and sweater off and was just wearing a tshirt, the big Argentine family next to us was amazed by this and talked about it amongst themselves before asking us what crazy place we must be from to do such a thing.

The boat going to Colonia and back was huge. We didn´t notice that it had started moving until we saw trees going by. It also had a mall inside of it.

We are going to frisbee tonight, and then doing a tango class at a cultural center which should be loads of fun.

I don´t recommend the Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. We saw it on thursday because we´re saving harry potter and Ponyo for after we get back.
