colonia is a very nice place... to catch a ferry. thus concludes amar.

the town is quite small, muy bonito, muy lindo. it abounds with cozy, tree-laned, cobble-stoned streets. a pleasant afternoon stroll is sufficient to take in the entire charming town. on a clear day, one can see across the rio de la plata to buenos aires. during the evenings it seems the thing to do is to promenade down the main drag on one's scooter. when the sun goes down, a number of small, romantic restaurants come to life, offering fine opportunities for enchanted honeymoon meals; we, on the other hand, dined on chicken burgers and lemon juice (don't ask me why, but the kiosk we stopped at was selling large bottles of what looked like orange juice but actually contained the unsweetened, stomach-corroding essence of lemon, which, after mispurchased, was dutifully imbibed until vivid visions of ulcers made drinking more impossible).

and thus an evening was spent waiting for the ferry to take us to argentina and its capital the following day.
