Day 4 Colonia del Sacremento, Uraguay

It rained today and we chose unwisely not to wear our rainpants since we´d be ducking into museums all day. this was a huge mistake. we got totally soaked. then we returned to our hostel and changed into raingear, but decided to have our lunch there and do some more trip planning. By the time we were ready to go, it was partly sunny and warmer... so we changed OUT of the raingear and once again headed to the old town. funny? sort of.

The museums of Colonia are... well, a little odd. Lots of bad taxadermy, random broken glass artifacts and post-impressionist paintings of conquistadors. funny? por supuesto! We also enjoyed our 4x attempt to ascend the lighthouse (they said it was open... we did not push the door hard enough?) and the alley cats. Colonia is beautiful, very historical; however, a bit run down and sad to see so many buildings abandoned still.

We return to our beloved BA this evening.
