[81/365] Silhouettes Against the Setting Sun, Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay

Hola! This is another one from Uruguay! We walked around Colonia del Sacramento just as the sun was setting and we came across this. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it was a great photo subject. :) Have a happy Friday!

[22/365] Calle de Los Suspiros (Street of Sighs), Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay


Loved the quaint town of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay! This pedestrian street is known as the Street of Sighs, and the origin of it's name has many variations involving love, death, romance, mystery and secrets. The foggy day added to the mystery of this street. There was a art gallery along this street with beautiful paintings. A short ferry ride from Argentina, this town along the coast was a great stop on our adventures.

Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
























Crossing the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires, Argentina to the small country of Uruguay landed us in the quaint town of Colonia del Sacramento. It was a charming little city with very friendly people. When we were there, the cobblestoned streets were empty with few locals and tourists strolling around. The town was very peaceful and the views along the water were beautiful. Great place to just sit and relax! This photo is of an abandoned building structure with a lone motorcycle parked right in front. The owner of the motorcycle was nowhere to be seen.
