Uraguay, cobbled streets and pencils

Ok, it's been a long time between posts! Update time:
From BA we caught a ferry to Uraguay, across the worlds widest river, Rio de la Plata, a vast expanse of brown as far as the eye can see. We stayed in the beautiful town of Colonia del Sacramento. Cobbled streets and terracotta tiled roofs. A very dainty town. Sort of like a seaside village in the country. Visited a tiny organic winery and met a couple from Montevideo who drove us around the countryside in the back of their tiny VW golf, their 4yr old daughter singing old macdonald in spanish all the way. They took us to visit a museum, the largest collection of pencils in the world, and a Guiness World Record to prove it. Weird to say the least.
