Historic Colonia (de Sacramento) is an old Portuguese-then Spanish colony directly across the Rio Plata from Buenos Aires. It is a magical, great old historical town. We took the bus (mom's first long distance bus!) through the pouring rain and ended up at the historic center just in time to enjoy another glass of delicious Uruguayan tannat wine (tastes like a mix of a malbec and cab) and to take a tour the next day. Good times!!

| Very romantic at night...the three of us. Ha! |
 |
| The lighthouse and ruins of one of South America's oldest churches |
 |
| A terrible place! |
 |
| The cannons protecting the old walled city |
 |
| This is the newest building on the block, obviously! |
 |
| Really warm still! |
 |
| Is this art? |
 |
| Our "ride". Sans horse! |
