colonia, uruguay: you're gay, i'm gay, we're all gay for URUGUAY!

---

we had a gay old time in uruguay. no, seriously, it was a jolly and happy experience.

we took a boat across the rio de la plata from buenos aires to the tiny colonial town of colonia, uruguay. we heard so many good things about colonia that our curiosity brought us here.

so how would we best describe it? CUUUUUUTTEEE. you ever notice when a guy sees a cute area, he uses other words besides 'cute' to describe it?
"oh this place is tight"
"hella nice"
"this town is chill"

... problem is, none of those words/phrases can really do it justice, right? well colonia was so cute, there's no other way to explain it. so the best i could do was surround the word with other manlier words. like "man, this damn place is hella cute.... sheeit". teresa just laughed, but she added her own girly words which described the place perfectly: charming, lovely, adorable. so anyway, we had a great time in this cute city in the tiny country of uruguay.

in terms of solitude, think of sausalito or catalina. plus, this place was almost frozen in time -- maybe the early 19th century with old antique cars, early 17th century with cobble stone streets and mission-like architecture. not a single chain store or restaurant. all mom and pop places. and that's all we did -- ate ice cream, devoured plates of local cuisine, and drank beer til we were gay and sleepy. we even slept on a pier over the river. great time.
