A day away in Colonia, Uruguay

i took the better part of today and took the buquebus hydrofoil ferry to colonia, uruguay... it's about 50 km as the crow flies from buenos aires to colonia, and the hydrofoil makes it in an hour flat, which is probably as fast as the crow could do it... the regular ferry takes three hours which gives you some idea... i figure the hydrofoil does about 40+ kmph, which, for a good size ship that holds over 300 passengers and probably 100 vehicles, ain't bad... colonia's old section, the barrio viejo, is a late 16th-early 17th century portugese fishing settlement and a unesco world heritage site, and quite lovely... i'll have some pics tomorrow if you all behave yourselves...
