Punta del Diablo Part I - Beach, etc

Last weekend I went to Punta del Diablo with friends from school. It was so beautiful, and, as has been pointed out on facebook, it is a hippie paradise. In Punta del Diablo Part II, below, I document our horse tour through a national park.. after the tour, our guide, Fabian, invited us to his comune/shack in the woods to eat bbq pizza with his friends. We got to ride out to the ranch on the horses in the dark. The sky was filled with stars - I have never seen it filled up with stars like that anywhere.
The pizza was cooked on a grate over a small fire on the ground and we sat on logs. There was no electricity and no running water (thank god I didn't have to pee) and everyone was playing music. I felt like I was truly and deeply living in a cliche--and then they sang a Bob Marley song (!). It was fun, though, and the pizza was damn good.

Anyway, pics:
