Colonia del Sacramento

On Friday afternoon I went to Colonia del Sacramento, a small, old town about 2.5 hours from Montevideo. It's an UNESCO World Heritage site and the old city has been around for centuries. The city was super-tranquillo and at night we saw a free concert near the beach around sunset. On Saturday we went to the beach then came back to Montevideo for my friend Cecile's birthday party.

On the beach - so peaceful:


On the sea - looks kind of like Ireland or something:

While walking on the lighthouse stairs we needed a short break:
