We are spending this weekend in Buenos Aires. Needless to say it has been amazing!!!! Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in South America. 15 Million People. It has been absolutely amazing to be here getting to experience REALLY BIG City Life. We left on Friday from Montevideo and took a bus to Colonia. Colonia was the first settlement (by Portuguese Smugglers) in Uruguay. There are still parts of the original wall in the city which was amazing. It was amazing to get to walk on the same cobble stone streets as the smugglers in the 1680's. We took some great pictures of churches, ports, and lighthouses. Here they are.

One misconception about Montevideo, Colonia, and Buenos Aires is that these cities are on the ocean. They are actually on the Rio De La Plata. But this river is as wide as 10 Mississippi rivers (give or take). It took us an hour to cross the rio on a ferry. We got to Buenos Aires and checked into our hotel. After that we ate dinner and went to bed because we today we had a full day of sight seeing and shopping ahead of us. The hotel had the best breakfast ever and then we dove into an awesome day of sight-seeing around the big city. Here are some pictures... more stories to come later on... We will be in BA until Tuesday, so check out the blog Monday to hear the rest of the adventure, and see all of the pictures I took today.
