Casa Pueblo vs Las Hadas

If you remember the pics of Las Hadas you may notice the similar graceful lines of the architecture.

Some Nice Spots in Uruguay

We also took a few day trips to Punta de Este, Piropolis and Punta de Ballena. Punta de Este a beautiful coastal resort; it was obviously the slow season and most shops in Este were closed for the season.
We also visited the home/museum of Carlos Paez Vilaro. This location offers up a panoramic view of the coast line. In addition to his art, this artist is remembered for his untiring efforts to find his son, who was lost in the Andes, after an airplane accident. All efforts to find the survivors were halted but the artist used his own resources to continue the search; his efforts were rewarded, his son was found alive.

Uruguay

We crossed the Rio de la Plata on the "bueque ferry" to Colonia in Uruguay. A charming small town with cobble stone streets and lots of history of all the battles between the Portuguese, who founded it, and the Spaniards, who won it. We continued onto to Montevideo for a few days. The architecture was even more elaborate then in Argentina but I still like Buenos Aires best.
