Colonia
On Wednesday we got up early to get on the ferry across the estuary of the Rio de la Plata to Colonia, Uruguay. It's not a short trip (3 hours each way) but definitely worth it. Colonia is a quiet town with a number of historic buildings and the ruins of a fort. The air quality was much improved there over the ironically named Buenos Aires, and the experience overall was very relaxing and a nice break from the city. The trip back was at night, and the only good opportunity to see the stars of the southern hemisphere away from light pollution, a first for me.

Back home and enjoying the sunset (pink, purple, and periwinkle). Would like to see the stars without the light pollution, but alas, tis not to be.
Off to New Orleans tomorrow weather permitting. Sent some sweet corn to your brother. Should arrive by Wednesday. Be sure he gives you some.
Love Mom
