Saturday photoblogging - Colonia, Uruguay

colonia, uruguay, lies across the rio de la plata from buenos aires... the center of the town is a unesco world heritage cultural site, preserving a very early portugese fishing settlement... it's a lovely little town just made for walking...

Example

getting there from buenos aires is quite a treat... the standard ferry trip is three hours... the hydrofoil ferry trims that time to a mere hour and, lemme tell ya, that sucker flat out FLIES... it's HUGE too, inside and out...

Example

if anybody's interested, i've put together a walking and subway guide to buenos aires from the perspective of someone - like me - who prefers to get acquainted with a city the old-fashioned way - on foot...
