Piriapolis, Uruguay

This is the first place we went in Uruguay back in November. It was very pretty but quite cold and fairly empty. That's why we only stayed two days.

Cute little Uruguayan school kids on a field trip. Note their weird uniforms - they're like labcoats but also like dresses with weird pilgrim ties.
The huge and fancy and famous Hotel Argentino.
The beach, with thousands of shells, some of which I brought back to give to the kids in Paraguay.
Pretty beach and beachside condos for the rich and famous.
