Greetings from .................Uruguay?

Well, the lap of luxury continues. We spent several days in Cordabá, Argentina. The people were so sweet, from the hostel owners to the taxi drivers, the city is a very comfortable place to be. Still, it lacks a certain pizzazz so we decided to ship out. Before taking off on yet another long overnight bus we visited the small pueblo of Alta Gracia, childhood home of Ernesto ¨che¨ Guavera, the famous t-shirt maker. The small museum which was once the home of his family was a very nice reminder of the humanity that exists in everyone. So often our icons are left to be symbols some distant ideology or posed as emminent threats to life as we know it. The museum showed ernestito as a young asthmatic boy, bold, but quietly on the outside. The town is basically a wealthy suburb of Cordabá, which helps build the contrast that the museum is trying to present. We travelled then back to Cordabá and then to Buenos Aires by bus and to Colonia by ferry. Beautiful morning sunrise came up over the River Platte as we left the bustle of Buenos Aires in the still of the morning under brillant blue sky to the this quaint village. Very prestine and relaxed. There is little going on. The city fair is but a few stands with vendors more interested in another cup of maté than selling you silly trinkets. Still everyone is incredibly nice, wishing you the very best just for buying a sandwich. Alas, we both are yearning for some more adventure, but for now we will ride bikes and enjoy the crystal blue sky and fabulous manner of the Uruguayan people. Until next time. Ciao. Pasan bien.
