The Buquebus that we took to Uruguay
Amazing sunset on the way back from Uruguay, and this has no photoshopping! It was so gorgeous. A good end to the day.

This is in Uruguay, in Colonia, a very beautiful city though small!
Uruguay from the lighthouse!

KateLyn sized door! Pretty much exactly my height, didn't have to crouch at all!

Uruguay also...the lighthouse in the background is the lighthouse that we went up.
The restaurant that we ate at....very cool place, live music, so colorful and fun!

Mas...


On the boat to Uruguay
Inside the huge boat going to Uruguay! Ridiculous it was like a cruise ship!

In La Boca

Picture from the top of a building in La Boca...This is a picture of the river "River de Plata" and showing all the trash and how contaminated it is...its so disgusting and smells awful!

Picture of La Boca from the top of the building. The Soccer stadium is in the back...its huge!!

The La's

This is in La Boca, where they print books with the bindings made out of cardboard. These are peoples jobs, to go and collect cardboard off the street so they can print books to sell..it's quite sad. By the way, sorry for the non existence of the apostrophe before this, couldn't find it on the keyboard but my brother finally showed me where!
This is the stadium in La Boca, the barrio where soccer is the most famous! Though I hear they're not all that good this year.

In La Boca, with some statue of a soccer player.

This is some graffiti in La Boca, graffiti from the "Guerra Sucia" (Dirty War)
This is a really cool concert they have every monday, its a group called "La Bomba" and they play the drums, a bunch of different kinds, and put a little bit of guitar in there also, but it is some goood tunes let me tell ya.

Many Many Things!!

Here I am eating my free delicious icecream dessert with the giant Mexican hat on for my Birthday! It was a delicious meal that at least had some spice!!
This is Gabby, shes our tour guide and works with Carmen, our API director. Shes an amazing women, I love her! Probably one of my favorites here! Here she is teaching us how to make Mate, the famous tea they drink here. Yerba Mate, formally is the name.

This is in Tigre, we were trekking through an island that we went to go visit where we went kayaking and such, this is outside of Buenos Aires, well the capital of Buenos Aires, where theres a river that runs from Bolivia to Buenos Aires, and in that river there are a bunch of beautiful and somewhat tropical islands.

More of the group trekking around. Kind of reminded me of our backyard in Maine!

Our group! I think thats all of us actually, theyre a fun bunch, but my favorites are the boy all the way to the right and the girl all the way to the left in the same row as me.

So it seems impossible to keep you all updated on everything, I take all these pictures, forget to post them, then try to do mass posts but it takes about 10,000 years to upload the pictures on this website for some reason so give up after about 8 or 12 pictures! Ill try to put some good ones up!
