Luna de Miel

Buquebus!

Right now I’m with Amanda on the Buquebus boat to Uruguay to begin what we refer to as our Luna de Miel (honeymoon). It’s so crazy that we are heading to another country! I’m loving this huge boat, it’s almost like being on a plane, except it’s very spacious, has a snack bar, and the seats are super comfortable (although the bathrooms are about the same as an airplane's). After making it through customs in 3 minutes, we got on the boat about thirty seconds before it departed and now we’re off to our destination!

In about an hour we will be landing in Colonia del Sacramento, the oldest city in Uruguay. We have no idea where we are staying or what we are doing but it will be a spontaneous adventure. We are considering renting a cabana on the beach that we read about somewhere, but currently the only info we have on it is the address: “near the beach, Uruguay.” Thank you, helpful internet sites and tour books.

And I can’t wait to head to Montevideo to participate in the huge Carnival they have on Monday (the biggest day of the celebration, what perfect timing!) Well, I’m going to snooze since I doubt I’ll sleep much this weekend! (AN: this was a correct assumption)

Besos!
