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.
