My favorite things? BIG ICE and dinner at Los Sauces.

A splendid book store

















El Ateneo was selected the most beautiful book store in Latin America. How could it not be?
J.L. Borges used to say that he always thought that paradise would be some type of library or bookstore. This place is indeed heavenly!

Garzon (ghost town in UY) + La Pedrera





























































































































While in Punta we drove for about 40 minutes to Pueblo Garzón - a small town close to José Ignacio, and to La Pedrera, a little further. Garzon is a gorgeous village worth discovering... maybe just because there is nothing there, and the tranquility and silence one experiences upon arrival, is almost absurd... just a few, small houses, a plaza, dirt roads, and a posada /restaurant operated by one of South America's leading chef's, Francis Mallmann.

Colonia - UY
























































































Last weekend Henry and I went to Colonia again, but this time we slept there (didn't go to Carmelo this time). As soon as we got to the hotel after walking around all day- it started to rain, so we went to the spa, which was nice cause we had it all to ourselves! no one else there.. . got a massage and all that stuff. The next day was beautiful! we had lunch at this little place called La Florida. Really good. Colonia is so cool.. I feel like I'm soo... away from everything.. it's almost like being in another time period... I feel transported.
